Youth Advisory Committee Goals and Objectives for 2007-2008
YAC Members were asked to identify goals and objectives for the 2007-2008 year. Several projects and
ideas were presented. CM Minor suggested an overnight Lock-In to fundraise for a local food bank, which
would require an entrance fee of either $5.00 or cans of food. This would involve board games, video
game tournaments, and sport events. The money and the food would be donated to the Alameda County
Food Bank.
CM M. King suggested a decorative art project that could be put together by youth in the community and
sent to the Dublin sister city in Ireland.
Committee Members Brown and Europa brought up ideas for the March St. Patrick's Day Festival in
which the Youth Advisory Committee would have a booth to either play mini basketball or take pictures
with Glen the Guide for $I.00. The money generated from the booth would be used to donate to an
organization, such as St. Jude's Hospital.
CM Tran suggested planning a special event at an elementary school. Staff Member Gamez suggested that
Committee Members could plan a field day for kids at the various elementary schools. The field day
would include various organized activities and games. YAC members would coordinate the activities with
staff from the After School Recreation program.

Advisory Committee booth at the St. Patrick's Day Festival in March, and the field day activities for
children in elementary schools. The following are the Goals and Objectives established by the Youth
