Youth Commission
About
The Paso Robles Youth Commission was established in 1999 as an advisory body to the City Council. Members are selected through an application process and are the communication liaison between the city’s youth community and the City Council. Youth Commissioners learn about, suggest, and review policies, programs, and services related to youth issues and assist with community special events and services. After a two and a half year pause, the Commission was reactivated in the Fall of 2022 and its bylaws updated to require a 9-member advisory body with broader representation. Members now include residents in the 93446-zip code between the ages of 14 and 21.
