Children have very real-world needs, and sometimes face problems that adults would have trouble dealing with. That's why the city's Commission on the Status of Children and Youth exists. The commission advocates for local youth, collects data on their needs, and debates how to solve persistent problems that those under 18 are having in our community.
Erin Reynolds is the chair of the commission; Katie Hopkins is the fomer chair and the current secretary of the commission. They talk about how they try to help all the other organizations, including the city itself, coordinate to better serve children, and to define and address issues like literacy rates, chronic absenteeism in school, digital equity, and, yes, the mental health needs of children. They also promote the SWAGGER Awards, recognizing children in the community who go above and beyond.
