Teens for Tukwila Trip, plus add New Business Teens for Tukwila <br />In 2016, The Sister Cities and Civic Engagement Committee, a subcommittee of <br />the Equity and Social Justice Commission (ESJ), supported Teens for Tukwila, a <br />program of Tukwila Parks and Recreation staffed by Nate Robinson, to attend <br />the National League of Cities Conference in Washington, DC. In December of <br />2017, the ESJ approved the use of 2017 funds for this trip in 2018. Staff were <br />unable to use the 2017 funds in time, and are seeking approval to use 2018 <br />funds to support airfare and registration only for the Teens to attend the <br />conference in 2018, OR in 2019. Teens for Tukwila would be responsible for <br />raising funds for the hotel stay and other incidentals. <br />Teens for Tukwila were presented with the choice of going in 2018 or 2019, and <br />would prefer to go in 2019 to have more time to fundraise, prepare, and follow- <br />through on commitments they have already made for 2018. However, if 2019 is <br />not an option, they would like to take advantage of the opportunity in 2018. <br />Ms. Hougardy and Mr. Robinson talked about the 2016 trip.
