The Sacramento County Youth Commission consists of fifteen youth appointed by the County Board of Supervisors to be a voice for youth in local government. Commissioners serve three-year terms and must attend a Sacramento County middle or senior high school to be eligible. Commission meetings are monthly. Commissioners also represent the Commission at important community events, forums and committees.

The mission of the Commission is to:

• Collectively identify the issues facing Sacramento County youth
• Effectively voice the concerns of youth in Sacramento County
• Plan events that help youth in a positive way
• Bring ideas of improving and solving problems facing today's youth
• And most of all, connect Sacramento youth with the Board of Supervisors to collaborate efforts to build a better community for Sacramento's youth
