Temple City youth committee reviews year of public‑safety outreach, park engagement
Summary
Temple City youth committee presented a year‑end report highlighting public‑safety education, tours with police personnel, festival outreach about parks and emergency preparedness, and participation in Centennial celebrations.
The Temple City Youth Committee on May 21 summarized its 2023–24 activities, emphasizing public‑safety outreach and promotion of the city’s parks and history. "Our objective this year was to promote the city's history and Public Safety and emergency preparedness," youth committee member Sarah Quo told the council, noting a behind‑the‑scenes tour of Temple Station with Deputy staff support.
Committee members said they attended neighborhood‑watch meetings to learn CPR and fire response and partnered with the special deputy on community safety initiatives. The committee also staffed booths at the Lights on Temple City festival and the Chamellia (Chamelia) festival to teach children about emergency backpacks and distribute first‑aid kits, a presentation intended to improve household preparedness in an earthquake‑prone area.
Amir King described the committee’s participation in Temple City’s Centennial parade and community celebrations, saying the events showcased partnerships with civic groups including the Women's Club and Historical Society. The committee also promoted programs such as AlertTC and neighborhood watch to festival attendees.
Mayor Chavez and councilmembers thanked the students for their service and reminded residents that the city is accepting applications for next year’s youth committee, noting there are six openings for students entering ninth grade.
