The Child and Youth Plan (CYP) creates an intentional roadmap for the City of San Diego to support children, youth, and families, in partnership with community partners, public agencies, schools, and other stakeholders.

The 2025 CYP Update builds on the plan that was developed through community engagement and adopted by City Council in July 2024. It is intended to provide clarity on the plan’s goals and focus areas and to expand on the action plan with further developed objectives, strategies, and actions to guide the work of the Office of Child and Youth Success along with City and community partners.

The Child and Youth Plan is a Citywide plan. Although implementation will be led by the Office of Child and Youth Success, collaboration among various City departments as well as City leadership is critical to carrying out the strategies included herein and to realizing the goals and objectives outlined. Additionally, OCYS is poised to develop and strengthen partnerships with other regional agencies, education partners, and community partners to support Citywide efforts across all departments.

Through implementation of the Child and Youth Plan, the City of San Diego is committed to not only collecting data but to use it actively to identify disparities, set equity-focused targets, and progress toward equitable outcomes. The data will be used to inform policy decisions, resource allocation, and program development to address disparities and promote equitable outcomes.
