BACKGROUND Teens for Tukwila are a group of high school students, primarily from Foster High School, who want to make a positive impact on the Tukwila community. They are learning to become leaders and a partnership with City Council is something the group desires. Teens for Tukwila have established themselves as a group of teens making a positive impact in the Tukwila community. The group has completed multiple community service projects in Tukwila and around the region. Local projects include a clean-up at Cascade View Park, yard work for a Tukwila senior citizen, homework help and participation in the after school program at Showalter Middle School, and serving Tent City residents when they were in Tukwila. The group has established relationships with State Representative Steve Bergquist, Representative Zach Hudgins, and Senator Bob Hasegawa through participation in the annual Youth Action Day event held at the Capital Campus in Olympia. The group has met with multiple City Council members and has given two "year in review" presentations at City Council meetings. DISCUSSION The teen members created the Charter that sets forth the guidelines of a successful partnership with Teens for Tukwila could look like for their involvement in providing a teen voice and perspective on community/teen related topics. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of the Parks & Recreation Department that the Council consider this item at the November 24, 2014 Committee of the Whole Meeting and subsequent December 1, 2014 Regular Meeting.
