Youth are not just tomorrows leaders- they are todays leaders. The Live Well San Diego Youth Sector employs youth from around San Diego County to elevate youth voice in local government and on topics that impact youth. Youth bring valuable perspectives and ideas to boards and commissions, along with ensuring that decisions affecting youth aren't made without them. Having a diverse and inclusive board or commission is essential. This session will spotlight a panel of youth from San Diego County who have served on boards and commissions or worked to increase youth engagement in those spaces. The panelists will include youth from County, city, and community boards and commissions. The youth panelists will discuss topics including models of youth involvement on boards and commissions, recruitment, training and orientation, organizing youth-friendly meetings, and more.
