SUBJECT: Development of Future Corps
SPECIFIC REQUESTS)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)6 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct the Family and Human Services Committee to work with the Countywide
Youth Commission to look into the feasibility of forming a public/private non-profit
corporation (Future Corps) to develop resources to provide for future generations of
young Contra Costans.
BACKGROUND:
The number one complaint of young people across the county is "there.isn't
enough to do." Future Corps could provide the financial backing for projects such
as youth centers, providing youth healthy activities in safe surroundings--places to
call their own.
Future Corps could also work to attract to Contra Costa County businesses relating
to youth, such as skating parks, waterslides, movie theaters, etc. Having more of
these types of facilities would also help to provide young people with positive
alternatives to boredom, which often leads to violence and substance abuse.
DeSaulnier has spoken with other elected officials, both municipal and federal, and
has gotten an enthusiastic response to the idea of Future Corps.
