What is youth development?

Age range: 10-24

Focus on youth gaining something thats of use later, vs.

just an experience

Mentorship and ongoing engagement

Safe spaces for youth

Supporting positive development rather than responding

to youth as problems
What we looked at (and what we didnt)

Suppression (erred on the side of underestimating):

Arrests estimated budget via share of youth arrests (19 and under)

Incarceration reported youth-specific spending (county only)

Where possible, youth-focused legal system costs (DA, PD, City Attorney)

Youth Development (erred on the side of overestimating):

Workforce and job skills programs specific allocations

Recreation and library programs sometimes specific allocations,

sometimes estimated from youth share of programs or population

Other city initiatives (e.g. Santa Ana Sunshine Ordinance)
