San Mateo County Youth Commission Program Support

The San Mateo County Youth Commission ("Youth Commission") is an advisory commission to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, established in 1993 to address youth needs in the county and provide our youth with a voice in local government. The Commission consists of up to twenty-five (25) members, between the ages of thirteen (13) and twenty-one (21), who reside in San Mateo County. Funded by the County Executive's Office, reporting to the Board of Supervisors, and housed under the Budget, Policy, and Performance Office, the Youth Commission is a collaborative effort of all three San Mateo County serving entities.

The Youth Commission strives to address issues affecting youth in San Mateo County and close the gap between adult and youth perspectives. By placing youth in committees and on County Boards and Commissions, the Youth Commission increases awareness of and advocates for youth issues, advises the Board of Supervisors, presents policy recommendations, and implements projects that serve the community.

Priority issues of the Youth Commission currently include:

• Civic Engagement
• Community Equity
• Education & Economic Development
• Environmental Justice
• Health & Wellness
• Immigrant Youth

The San Mateo County Executive's Office is seeking a Contractor to support County staff with the management and administration of the Youth Commission.

The selected Contractor will work with County Executive's Office staff to accomplish the tasks highlighted within the Scope of Work.
