Last year, CYC partnered with a youth-led coalition to pass Assembly Bill 46 (Luz Rivas) for California to establish the California Youth Empowerment Commission (CYEC), and the bill was signed. This year the California Youth Empowerment Commission received $1.5 million in recurring state funds as part of the Budget Act of 2022.
This statewide youth commission provides a unique opportunity for California’s youth to participate in civic engagement with state legislators. They will meet at least once a month and make recommendations to the Legislature, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Governor on specific legislative and fiscal issues.
Requirements:
• Individuals who are applying must be between the ages of 14 – 25
• At least half of the commissioners must have experienced a physical disability, youth homelessness, foster care, and juvenile incarceration
• Composed of members from all 10 regions of California
*$100 per diem and necessary travel expenses, including traveling experiences for parents and guardians for those accompanying someone under the age of 18, will be provided to those selected.
Application Information:
Applications must be completed by October 21st.
To submit an application, individuals may select the option “Youth Empowerment Commission” at: https://www.gov.ca.gov/application-for-appointment/
