The purpose of the Parent and Youth Engagement Committee is to build a committee that is community-driven and led with an emphasis on equity and closing service gaps. The committee will take a collaborative approach to identify and connect community members with opportunities and assets in the East County, as well as introduce new opportunities for committee members to serve as liaisons for harder-to- reach populations such as teens and young adults, and parents. The group has also created a mission statement that exemplifies the goals of the committee-- "to amplify voices and put East County needs to action through engaging parents and youth.
