MOTION:
I move that Council direct staff to provide a report to City Council regarding how the City can better support and expand the impact of the City’s CAREcorps program.
DISCUSSION:
CAREcorps is managed through the City’s Youth Development program. It is a summer jobs program for city youth. The program connects youth with area businesses through grants and personal coaching. The program has been successful at generating high levels of participation, particularly with the city’s underserved communities. The restriction on in-person meetings due to COVID-19 has limited the program’s reach over the past year.
I would like staff to provide a report to City Council by Council’s May 24, 2021 regular meeting, analyzing methods the City can use to enhance the program’s effectiveness and reach in order to provide greater benefit to the city.
