During the past year, the Youth Advisory Committee assisted in the coordination of the following
events and programs:
“splatter” -
Youth Advisory Committee Members assisted at the “splatter” event by
operating the “SPLAT-demonium,” an activity in which participants wore a white painter
suit under a festival shirt and were “splattered” with water based, non-toxic paint as they
went through an obstacle course. Participants were able to keep the event shirt and the
painter suit with their own one-of-a-kind personal paint designs. It was a fun activity for
all who participated.
St. Patrick’s Day Festival –
The Youth Advisory Committee Members operated a booth
that featured a “Spinning Wheel” in which festival attendees could spin the wheel for
prizes. Youth Advisory Committee members also shared information about the Youth
Advisory Committee and the Parks and Community Services Department.
Teen Job Fair –
This is a collaborative event with the cities of San Ramon, Pleasanton,
and Dublin in partnership with the Dublin/San Ramon Women’s Club. This year’s event
was held at the City of San Ramon’s Dougherty Station Community Center. The Youth
Advisory Committee Members assisted with set-up and clean-up at the event. The City
of Dublin will host the event in 2015.
Dublin Community Car Show –
The Youth Advisory Committee and the Senior Center
Advisory Committee collaborated on an intergenerational effort to assist with the Third
Annual Dublin Community Car Show. Both sets of Committee Members worked together
to set-up the event, manage the car registrations, and operate a craft booth. The Third
Annual Community Car Show had an all-time high of 137 cars on display and more than
400 persons in attendance.
Youth Mini-Grant Program –
New this year, the Youth Advisory Committee offered a
grant program to support local youth and teen programs that serve Dublin youth. Five
applications were received. The Youth Advisory Committee Members reviewed the
applications and each club/organization made a presentation to Youth Advisory
Committee regarding the benefits of their grant proposal. In total, $1,200 was divided
amongst the five groups.
Youth Benefit Concert –
New this spring, a Youth Benefit Concert was held at the
Shannon Community Center to showcase local youth with special musical talents.
These Youth Advisory Committee programs and events contributed over $3,200 to the City’s
Youth Fee Assistance Program this year, providing recreational opportunities for 16 youth in the
community whose families have economic challenges.
The Youth Advisory Committee members will make a presentation to the City Council on the
various Youth Advisory Committee goals, activities and accomplishments for the 2012 -2013
term.
