About

The Paso Robles Youth Commission is currently inactive due to COVID-19 and will resume when the PRHS campus opens again in the fall.

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.
