Welcome to the Baltimore City Youth Commission

The purpose of the Youth Commission is to give youth the opportunity to provide advice, recommendations, and information for the Mayor, the City Council, and municipal agencies on the development of community and government policies, programs, and services that support children, youth, and their families.

All members of the Youth Commission will serve for a term which expires at the end of the Mayor’s term. At the completion of the term a member may continue to serve until a successor is appointed.

All Youth Commissioners MUST be residents of Baltimore City and must commit to participating in a majority of the commission’s convenings throughout their term. Commissioners will be compensated and engage in year-round programming. 

The Commission will meet as frequently as required to perform its duties but not less than once a month.
