Youth Action Plan meeting Tuesday evening - need to hear from Youth

City of Shoreline and King County seek input on development of County's Youth Action Plan

On Tuesday, October 28, the City of Shoreline and King County Councilmember Rod Dembowski invite Shoreline and other North King County youth and those who care for them to an open house and focused discussion on the development of King County's Youth Action Plan.

On January 21, 2014, the Metropolitan King County Council approved legislation calling for the development of a Youth Action Plan that will set King County’s priorities for serving its young people.

The Plan is being developed by an appointed Task Force comprised of representatives from a broad range of organizations and entities with substantial expertise and knowledge relevant to infants, children, and youth. The Task Force encompasses a wide range of views and experiences, reflecting the diversity of its members’ geographic, racial, and ethnic backgrounds.

The Task Force needs to hear from and about King County youth to better understand their needs and how best to address them. 

Some of the questions the Task Force will be asking include:

1. What are the needs of our youth?
2. What challenges are youth facing today?
3. How are youth needs changing?
4. How can King County help?

The event will be from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at Shoreline City Hall in the Council Chamber, 17500 Midvale Ave N. Youth between 12 and 24 years old who are unable to attend the event can complete the Youth Action Plan Survey online.
