The students shared and gathered feedback on their focus this year, which is on creating Mental Health resources for students. \u201cIt is a delight to see these young people in action, developing their vision and passion to benefit others,\u201d said Dr. Manansala. \u201cThey are a strong, focused group of leaders, who understand first-hand what their peers are going through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Youth Commission helps identify the needs of El Dorado County youth and communicate those needs to our local representatives. The Board of Supervisors and the El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE) co-sponsor the Youth Commission, which operates as a youth government. The students learn about local governance while gaining important leadership skills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been continuing our work from last year, focusing on improving mental health in the youth of the county,\u201d said Chair Misbah Shafi, a senior at Oak Ridge High School. \u201cIt is invaluable to have feedback from the Board of Supervisors and Dr. Manansala.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students will take the information and ideas developed at the dinner to improve their project of disseminating information about mental health resources into the hands of our county\u2019s youth through a one-stop website.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really appreciate the advice given us,\u201d said Vice-Chair Kaya Renner, senior at Oak Ridge High School. \u201cThe ideas will help us develop a strong website that will help the youth of the county.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dina Gentry.
