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 30, and closes on Thursday, April 30, at 11:59 p.m.
Eligible youth who have an interest in leadership, local government, advocacy, politics, or policy are encouraged to apply.
