San Marcos recognizes Youth Task Force; city and partners promote free youth leadership conference June 6
Summary
The City of San Marcos and Core 4 partners honored graduating Youth Task Force seniors and announced an all-day, free youth leadership conference for grades 8–12 on June 6.
The City of San Marcos and its Core 4 partners proclaimed May in recognition of the San Marcos Youth Task Force and honored graduating student leaders on May 20.
Crystal Lopez, the city’s youth services director, described the Youth Task Force as an advisory group with 20 active voting members who set priorities and plan activities. Lopez invited the council and the public to the task force’s annual free youth leadership conference on June 6 at the San Marcos Activity Center and said the event serves students in grades eight through 12 and runs about 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Task force president Haley Aguilar and vice president Sofia Robertson addressed the council and summarized the group’s activities over the past year, including planning the annual conference, hosting holiday socials at the San Marcos Housing Authority, and organizing donation drives for the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter and Southside Community Center.
Lopez said the task force’s goal this year is to register 75 youth (the group served about 65 last year) and that the conference will be free and first-come, first-served; breakfast and lunch will be provided. She described workshops on “survival skills for adulthood,” including sessions on self-defense, bystander intervention, self-compassion and everyday consent.
No ordinance, funding action or vote is recorded in the transcript; the item was a recognition and public information announcement.
