BACKGROUND
The Youth Commission (Commission) has a number of active subcommittees that are individually tasked with specific projects that align with the goals of the Commission.
As part of the Commission’s ongoing review of the work assigned to its subcommittees and appointed roles, a current subcommittee member may briefly describe any projects currently in process. The discussion will provide an opportunity to inform the Commission of the current progress of each project; allow commissioners to express their interests, goals, and desires to be involved in subcommittees that have a vacancy; propose new subcommittees for consideration a future meeting; or modify the number of approved subcommittees.
A maximum of seven commissioners may serve on a single subcommittee. There are no limitations to the number of subcommittees a commissioner may serve. Included below are the Commission’s active subcommittee and stakeholder groups:
Substance Abuse Subcommittee
Member(s): Sorgen, Weiss, Taghvaei, Cho, Reeds, Flinn, Cheves
Review current resources and local policies related to substance abuse, and make recommendations regarding education and programs to provide information and current resources available to teens and their families.
Communications Subcommittee
Member(s): Reeds, Huynh, Steinberg, Taghvaei, Robles, Cunningham
Create a general “Teens in Redondo Beach” social media account utilizing Instagram. Determine the focus of future posts including strategies and frequency. Consider alternate means of communication, when necessary, while keeping in mind the creation of a one-stop shop resource for teen-related information that ensures accessibility.
Teen Center & Event Subcommittee
Member(s): Cho, Cunningham, Weiss, Robles, Chabot, Campisi, Taghvaei
Provide guidance to staff on the re-opening of the Perry Park Teen Center, and provide ongoing support for teen programs, services, and events held throughout the City.
