The Napa County Youth Council is a Workforce Investment Act (WIA) mandated committee that prepares the overall local youth plan, recommends the selection of youth service providers, evaluates the performance of those youth service providers, and establishes funding priorities for youth employment programs.
The objective of the Youth Council is to oversee the investment of WIA youth funding and to ensure effective linkages and leveraging of resources. Through the effective use of its membership, the Council is also positioned to influence educational policy.
Key deliverables of the Youth Council include:
- A coherent youth serving system that leads to graduation from H.S. & College, and skills necessary to enter the workforce;
- High degree of partnership with education
