Introduce the Youth Master Plan
Intro to Youth Master Plan: http://pasadena-library.net/teens/youth-master-plan/
What would you like to address the most?
- Diverse option of foods – PUSD appears to have addressed some of this in the last few months with the food pickups
- Communication about resources between youth and youth leaders/mentors (example of not knowing about mental health resources if it had not been for actually physically visiting library and seeing it; others don’t know it’s there)
- Bus costs
- Better bike lanes
Which one is the one that needs to be addressed immediately?
- Finances (enough funding for certain teachers to teach certain classes for IB, AP, etc.)
- Sports, staying active during quarantine
- Staying motivated at home
Is there something your organization is already doing?
- Example of CAP offering valuable resources virtually for college info
