YOUTH PROGRAMMING
recommended action
RECOMMENDATION
Receive updates on previously discussed youth programming ideas. Review and discuss proposed youth arts programming options. The Commission may take action to approve direction on youth programming activities or choose to take no action.
If a program direction is approved, the Commission may also choose to form an ad hoc committee to develop further and implement the activity.
This ad hoc committee will lead all planning, outreach, and program execution. Commissioners serving on this ad hoc committee will be responsible for designing and developing a complete implementation plan for the selected youth arts program. This includes defining program objectives and structure, determining eligibility criteria, planning logistics and timelines, and identifying appropriate venues or platforms. Committee members will lead outreach efforts, establish partnerships with schools and youth organizations, coordinate promotion, and propose recognition methods for participating youth. Commissioners must present a comprehensive program plan covering scope, schedule, engagement strategy, resource needs, and evaluation to the full Commission for approval at a future meeting, incorporating feedback and making revisions as needed.
City staff will provide limited support to ensure compliance with City procedures and assist with essential logistics. This includes helping schedule and coordinate ad hoc committee meetings if needed, reviewing the proposed program for policy alignment (e.g., use of City property or liability considerations), and ensuring proper placement of the committee’s final presentation on a future Commission agenda. Staff may also assist in distributing approved promotional materials through existing City communication channels.
Alternatively, the Commission may choose not to form an ad hoc committee. In this scenario, the responsibilities outlined for the ad hoc committee will fall onto the full Commission. Items related to this program will be discussed during regularly scheduled Stockton Arts Commission Meetings.
Summary of Commission Action Options:
1. Choose to take no action at this time.
2. Approve a Youth Programming Direction and Form an Ad Hoc Committee
3. Approve a Youth Programming Direction Without Forming an Ad Hoc Committee
