The goal of the Youth Commission is to develop and express the opinions, ideas, and visions of the youth in the county. Students on the Commission participate as a youth government allowing an enriching leadership experience. The Commission helps youth fulfill goals that they have for their community. We are always looking for ways to help youth implement projects and ideas that will benefit the community.

 

Established in 2003 and supported by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors (BOS) and El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE), appointed Commissioners are empowered to gather and express the opinions, ideas,and visions of our county’s youth, while gaining valuable leadership skills and knowledge about our county and local government.

 

To apply, students must be enrolled in grades 8-11, reside in El Dorado County, and be at least 13 years old. Applications for the 2027 - 2028 school year will be available in the spring at most high school counseling offices and online.
