YOUTH BUDGET FORUM <br />OTHER COMMENTS <br />I would like to see more money put towards the after school and summer programs for SAUSD, specifically the Engage 360 <br />program. Having after school care is vital for families where both parents work full time. My daughter is finishing up Kindergarten <br />at Thorpe Fundamental. We were lucky enough to get into the Engage 360 after school program. But, we were waitlisted for the <br />summer Engage 360 program. Now, I am so worried that we will have to be waitlisted when they do the lottery for the 2022-2023 <br />school year. Please put more budget towards staffing the impacted schools, so all children/families that need access to after <br />school care at their school site can have access. She is building relationships with the after school staff and they are becoming <br />important adults in her life. It would be difficult for her to be forced to change programs every year. All children need consistency <br />and stability. We were able to get a spot for summer childcare at the Jerome Center and we are looking forward to our daughter <br />experiencing their program. Please also consider adding funding to those summer programs as well, so there are enough spots for <br />children each summer. And, so they can do enriching activities and experiences. <br />How old can teens start working at the rec centers? <br />How can youth give public comments at the city council meetings? <br />I do think we need to motivate our own kids in Santa Ana to play sports like softball in our own city. <br />Everyone is going to other cities. <br />SOCIAL MEDIA COMMENTS <br />Computer classes <br />Water parks!!!! <br />Free swim classes and splash pads in the parks. <br />Shade for playgrounds and also playground equipment for children with disabilities. <br />More Gyms for teens Sky zone for free! <br />More libraries <br />31
