I Support the proposed budget by the Department of Youth, Parks and Community Enrichment for the following reasons:
1. Increased funding to expand community center days of operation and open hours,
2. Expanding the Friday Night Hot Spot programming for youth seeking a safe and supervised option,
3. Expanding Prime Time Teen Programming,
4. Approve 1 FTE Program Specialist to support Youth program quality assurance and track program metrics in accordance with the Citywide Youth Development Plan.
As a former City of Sacramento Auditor Fellow, I know the importance of Program Evaluation to identify lessons learned and efficiencies to maximize program dollars spent in relation to positive program outcomes, and funding a FTE Program Specialist will pay for itself in no time to help ensure YPCE's department goals of "Diverse, Dynamic and Together" for the City of Sacramento.
