The Speak-Up Youth Special Council sessions, hosted by student and management youth interns in The Office of Child and Youth Success, create regular forums where San Diego’s youngest community can explore the Child and Youth Plan Focus Areas. The topics discussed are crucial to today's youth and their ability to thrive in demanding and challenging experiences. These sessions are designed to amplify youth voices, foster meaningful conversations, and inspire actionable solutions. Whether you're a young person eager to share your perspective or an adult looking to contribute to a brighter future for our youth, your involvement is invaluable. Together, let's make a difference and empower our youth to thrive!​
