Long Beach, CA ~ The City of Long Beach is now accepting applications for the second iteration of its Youth Advisory Council. The Youth Advisory Council is a body of 11 young people that help ensure authentic youth-led engagement in the design, oversight and implementation of the Youth and Emerging Adults Strategic Plan (YSP), the Measure US Youth Fund and other systems of youth development.
Mayor Rex Richardson said, "The Youth Advisory Council is a model of how to integrate youth voice into local government. We encourage all youth who are interested in civic and community engagement to apply to serve on the advisory body."
To be eligible, applicants must be between 16 and 26 years old, reside in Long Beach, be available to meet twice a month, and have a passion for issues affecting youth in Long Beach. Applications can be submitted online until June 30th. Those without computer or smart phone access can visit a public computer lab at the Ron R. Arias Health Equity Center or any Long Beach Public Library location to fill out and submit their digital application.

The City provides coaching and development to ensure youth Councilmembers have the tools they need to drive accountability for the YSP and are compensated for their work on the youth council. They serve 12-month terms and represent all council districts while including at-large members with a health equity focus on priority neighborhoods that have experienced disproportionate amounts of violence, poverty and impacts due to COVID-19.
The Youth Advisory Council was designed by recommendations provided during 2022's Youth Design Sessions where youth throughout the city informed its outreach, application, selection and retention process. In its first year which began in August 2022, it participated in a convening with other civic bodies from Los Angeles City and County as well as supported disbursement of Measure US Youth Fund dollars for youth serving organizations while presenting an update on YSP to City Council.
Kimberly Lim, District 1's Youth Advisory Councilmember said "It has been a very rewarding experience being part of Long Beach's First Youth Advisory Council…My vision is that we continue to strengthen our foundation so that we can effectively continue to make change in Long Beach."
Those interested can find additional application details on Office of Youth Development's website along with more information about Office of Youth Development itself.
