In March 2015, City Council endorsed the updated Community Services Youth Service Plan. The PDF Document 2015-2020 Youth Service Plan: Where Youth Thrive, builds on the previous plan prepared in 2008. The new plan identifies priority program and service areas for Richmond youth, and provides the City with a strategic approach to making decisions about youth-related matters over the next six years. It is intended to be a guiding framework to support the development and implementation of youth programs and services.
