Representatives from Community Partnership for Youth (CPY) presented the impact of the 2025–26 community social service grant and brought current and former participants to thank the council. CPY reported approximately 300 students served this summer (283 enrolled), said the majority of staff and interns come from Seaside (an estimated 90%), and described partnerships that provide outdoor experiences, surf lessons, and camping for participants.

CPY’s leader (Ben) said the program emphasizes long‑term relationship building and a pipeline from elementary programming through high‑school leadership. Student speakers described CPY’s role in preparing them for college and jobs: “I wouldn’t have been able to have done that without the help of CPY,” one participant told the council. Council members asked about participant counts, residency percentages and internships; CPY pledged to provide more exact staff‑residency statistics and said current enrollment and hiring processes are ongoing.
