11: City,/ <br />im Louisville <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />AGENDA ITEM II <br />SUBJECT: <br />DATE: <br />YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD ANNUAL REPORT <br />APRIL 23, 2019 <br />PRESENTED BY: YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD <br />SUMMARY: <br />• This year, the Youth Advisory Board's goal was to help promote RTD's FlexRide <br />service to Louisville youth and their parents. To do this, we partnered with <br />Commuting Solutions, a local organization that helps promote alternative <br />transportation solutions, and devised a marketing strategy. We created a flyer that <br />was shared with BVSD parents, created a post for Schoology, included an article in <br />The Pack, and handed out marketing materials at 8th Grade Transition Night at <br />Monarch. <br />• Members participated in several very successful volunteer events, such as <br />assisting with Community Food Share's food drives, helping out at local events like <br />the grand opening of the Recreation and Senior Center, and the Tulip Twist dance. <br />• Members have learned a great deal about local government this year by <br />interviewing members from other boards and commissions. At least one member <br />from another board or commission visits a YAB meeting every month. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />• Our annual budget is $1000. We use it for our kick off meeting, end of the year <br />party, YAB t-shirts and binders, and as needed for supplies for our annual projects. <br />• This year our annual project did not require us to spend additional funds. <br />PROGRAM/SUB-PROGRAM IMPACT: <br />• Members feel our FlexRide project was successful. We have seen FlexRide buses <br />much more frequently around town and at local schools at pick-up and drop-off. <br />• YAB members help the community through volunteer work. <br />• YAB is the voice of the youth to City Council. <br />• Members learn about local government. <br />• YAB members interact with a diverse group of youth in the community while <br />building leadership skills. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />• The Youth Advisory Board seeks to continue their work next year with a new <br />annual project. <br />• The board also aims to better serve City Council. <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1.
