Hello Outer Mission Residents Association!

I hope this email finds you well! I’m Joshua Rudy Ochoa, and I serve as the Community Partnership Specialist for the San Francisco Youth Commission. I’m reaching out to you and your organization to let you know that our application is now open for San Francisco youth (ages 12-23) to apply to serve on the 2026/2027 Youth Commission!

The San Francisco Youth Commission (YC) is an advisory commission composed of 17 Youth Commissioners between the ages of 12 and 23 years old, and who are residents of the City & County of San Francisco. The YC serves as the official youth voice in City Hall and advises both the Mayor and Board of Supervisors on budget and policy policies that affect youth. Every Spring, YC Staff work to recruit young people from across the City to apply to serve on the Youth Commission, with the focus of ensuring the Commission truly represent the diversity of the City’s youth, including but not limited to: public/private school enrollment, socioeconomic status, age, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

Our 2026/27 YC Application opened on Monday, March 30th and closes on Thursday, April 30th at 11:59pm. If you know any eligible youth who have an interest in leadership, local government, advocacy, politics, or policy, then we strongly encourage you to let them know about this opportunity to apply!  If you could post flyers across your network and neighborhood, it would be incredibly helpful so youth can see them and apply. If you need physical copies delivered or if you’d like to request an in-person presentation, please let us know and we’ll make it happen!

In Community,

Joshua.
