Overview

In its work of advising the City's legislative and executive branches on the "unmet needs" of San Francisco's young people, the Youth Commission regularly produces five basic kinds of documents:

• memos that contain comment and recommendation on proposed pieces of legislation referred to the Youth Commission by the Board of Superivsors;
• resolutions that formally articulate the Youth Commission's position on various matters;
• a set of budget priorities intended to guide the youth-related fiscal decisions that the Mayor and the Board must make each year;
• an Annual Report, as required by the City Charter; and
• on a more sporadic basis, reports on particular issues of the day.
