Youth sought for task force
Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian is encouraging young people who are looking to make a difference in the community to serve as Santa Clara County Youth Task Force (YTF) representatives for his District 5, which includes a portion of Sunnyvale.
The task force is an advisory board that works directly with the Board of Supervisors, policymakers and other decision-makers to address issues that affect young people in the county. They also work to educate their peers on the issues that affect their communities—such as foster youth and LGBTQ issues, and youth homeless housing—and to find solutions and develop policies to address these issues.
“Being a member of the YTF was a unique opportunity for me to take on a leadership role and learn more about the county,” says former task force member Noa Bronicki, a Homestead High School alum. “It was also empowering to work on smaller-scale projects that the YTF could feasibly implement that still addressed elements of the high-level issues we learned about, like affordable housing and teen homelessness.”
Prospective applicants must be age 12-18 and reside in Santa Clara County.
New task force members will serve through Aug. 31, 2023. For application information, contact the Office of the Clerk of the Board at 408-299-5001.
