The opportunity to serve on the Youth Advisory Commission is valuable to me because I seek to increase positive change and representation for oppressed and underrepresented groups and further my interest in government, policy, and the processes of implementing policy. By serving on the Youth Advisory Commission, I’d gain hands-on experience with affecting local government and improving the community I call home. What acted as a catalyst for my interest and passion for these topics was observing my conservative school’s stance on the LGBTQ+ community, and how the faculty treated queer students. Not only have many of the faculty perpetuated and continue to perpetuate anti-queer sentiments, there have also been incidents of queer erasure, one such incident being the photoshopping of a transgender individual out of the yearbook. As a result, many queer students have reported feeling alienated, unappreciated, and even unsafe. Seeing my fellow classmates so discouraged and hurt by school administration was deeply upsetting. Consequently, I am determined to stand up for those who face such subjugation wherever I can through having a voice in the community in the Youth Advisory Commission. Furthermore, this January, I attended an advocacy program in Sacramento called CASC SABLE (Student Advisory Board on Legislation in Education), where students were able to gain hands-on experience with policy–creating a resolution addressing the lack of financial literacy among youth, presenting to the California Senate Education Committee, and lobbying. This experience showed me what it’s truly like to have the power to make real change, and furthered my passion for policy.

While there is no shortage of events and programs for adults and adolescents in Fremont, teens seem to lack representation in the amount of programs that are available to them. Especially in the humanities and arts department, there is no clear community available for teens to interact and participate in. For example, a couple of weeks ago, I received a pamphlet detailing a myriad of different summer activities and opportunities for kids; while I was interested, it appeared that the target age demographic was young adolescents and not teens, which led to a mild feeling of disappointment. Furthermore, I have noticed that many of my peers tend to be STEM-focused. Throughout a vast majority of my life, I have enjoyed reading, writing, and arts of all sorts but struggled to find similar, like-minded people who shared my interests. While I did interact with people with similar interests in elementary school, said people later went on to pursue extracurriculars in STEM, leaving them with little time to indulge in humanities.

Thus, in such an environment, it can be difficult for teens who have a passion for humanities and arts to find community in Fremont. Consequently, I would like to create a well-defined creative hub for teens. This hub could be defined by having monthly events and meetups, each with a certain designated activity and/or theme. These meetups could include activities like group crafts, writing things such as poems, or even painting. Furthermore, it could include a platform for teens to interact and share their works in, allowing them to connect with each other and make friends. Additionally, teens with projects that could use help could find a place to find willing recruits. Thus, through the creation of a defined community/hub for creatively inclined teens, a myriad of events and opportunities could be offered to teens in Fremont.

When I was around eight years old, my friend told me that there was a god living on the mountain we could see from our school. She also told me that the god’s disciple, Richiband–a black, gooey, creature–lived right below the drain on the school blacktop. She told me to offer up pinechones, or “spices”, to Richiband, and from then on, we spent our lunches partaking in our two-girl religion. My faith was ephemeral and not without doubt. After around a week, I felt that both Richiband and the god were awfully stagnant, asking her questions about why exactly we needed spices, and why Richiband never left the drain. She brushed it off and said, “You’ll understand eventually”. This experience was one of my earliest exposures to worldviews that were radically different from mine; I saw how my religious worldview slowly turned back into a secular one as I questioned–and I have never stopped asking “why” since. Thus, this anecdote demonstrates the three most important aspects of my identity–healthy skepticism, as seen with my questioning of faith, open-mindedness, demonstrated in the willingness to see things from the worldview of my friend’s religion, and curiosity, as shown in my reevaluation of my friend’s religion and the meaning of life as a whole. *
What is your biggest insecurity? When I was 12, I spent much of my time perusing Youtube and watching politically charged videos. Despite having a personal stance on topics such as feminism, racial discrimination, ableism, the LGBTQ+ community (and many more), I often felt an obligation to agree with a certain stance if the majority of people on a post also agreed with it (or bandwagon fallacy) and was terrified of being disagreed with. Because of this, I refused to speak my mind even when I was passionate about a topic by refusing to participate in conversations whether it be with my family or friends despite having a pre-established opinion. Although this was a betrayal to myself, it would also mean that I wouldn’t have to live with the fact that hundreds, if not thousands of people in said post disagreed with me–I was afraid of being “wrong”. Consequently, I often swung between stances and was unsteady in my beliefs. However, as I’ve done my own research and accumulated knowledge and opinion through personal experience, I now realize that being “wrong”, or being perceived as such, is a natural process that is bound to happen. Moreover, recognizing our own ignorance and growing from it is the best way to grow and become more open minded, and to be truly grounded in a stance means you must accept the reality that many will disagree with you. For example, through researching trans issues and being willing to engage in open discussion with people online, I was able to convince a few people to be more open-minded and accepting of trans individuals. Although I still worry about “wrongness”, or my own ignorance today, I now understand that a necessary part of combatting ignorance is accepting that one is ignorant.

Service Coalition I am the co-founder of the Community Service Coalition at my school, which is an organization dedicated to helping those in need and setting up community service projects for students at my school. We have created gift bags for sick students that contained decorated cards and bracelets, volunteered at local soup kitchens, hosted panels about body positivity at our school, and much more. There are multiple sectors: the education, local impact, and drive sector. I personally work in the local impact sector, where we focus on setting up community service opportunities and regularly participate in community service. This activity opened my eyes to issues that otherwise might be invisible to me experienced by those less privileged, and also provided me with experience in organizing events, creating a change in my community, and community service. CASC I also participate in CASC (California Association of Student Councils), which is an organization dedicated to uplifting student voices in local and state-level government. I participated in SABLE, which involved picking a certain issue (mine was financial literacy), and spending a few days brainstorming a solution to it and presenting said solution to the California Senate Education Committee. As previously mentioned, my experience at SABLE solidified my interest in policy, allowing me to gain experience with things like lobbying and familiarity with how the government operates, inspiring my motivation to pursue local government.

* Why do you want to serve on the Youth Advisory Commission? I want to serve on the Youth Advisory Commission because I think teens should have a voice in what happens in our city. There are a lot of issues that affect teenagers, but sometimes adults may not know what students are actually thinking or experiencing. I recently participated in Assemblymember Alex Lee’s Young Legislators Program, and it made me much more interested in government and how young people can be involved. I learned that even as a high school student, I can research an issue, talk to people about it, and suggest possible solutions. I am also involved with AIM Youth Mental Health as a Youth Ambassador and other volunteer and peer support activities. These experiences have helped me become a better listener and understand that different teens can have very different experiences. I would like to be on the Commission because I want to meet other students in Fremont, hear what is important to them, and help bring those ideas to the City. I also think it would be a great opportunity for me to learn more about Fremont and how our local government works. * What is a problem Fremont teens face and propose an event to address this problem. How would you organize and publicize this event? I think one problem Fremont teens face is stress and pressure from school. A lot of students are trying to balance grades, AP classes, sports, clubs, volunteering, family responsibilities, and thinking about college. Sometimes it can feel like everyone else is doing more than you are, especially because of social media. I am a Youth Ambassador with AIM Youth Mental Health, and through AIM's Idea Lab I learned about creating youth-led ideas to help with mental health and well-being. It gave me the idea of doing something similar for teens in Fremont. I would organize an event called Fremont Teen Connect. It could be a relaxed event where teens can talk about school stress, mental health, time management, and ways to have a better balance. We could invite high school and college students, counselors, and youth mental health organizations. I think having small group discussions and activities would make it easier for teens to participate instead of just listening to adults speak. Before the event, I would send out a short anonymous survey asking Fremont teens what they are most stressed about. We could use their answers to decide what topics to include, so the event is actually based on what teens say they need. To publicize it, I would ask schools and student clubs to share it, put flyers at schools, libraries, and community centers, and use Instagram and other social media. Teens could also make short videos about the event to help get other students interested. After the event, we could ask students what they learned and what they think the City or schools could do better. The Youth Advisory Commission could then share some of those ideas with the City Council.
* What are three (3) aspects of your identity that shape your outlook on life? Three parts of my identity that shape me are being a student, being a youth advocate, and growing up in a diverse community. Being a student is a big part of my life right Page | 1

I understand what it is like to balance school, activities, friends, family, and thinking about the future. It has also taught me that everyone handles pressure differently and that you shouldn't judge someone just by their grades or accomplishments. Being involved in youth advocacy has also changed the way I think. Through programs like the Young Legislators Program and AIM Youth Mental Health, I have learned that teenagers can actually make a difference. You don't have to wait until you are an adult to speak up about something you care about. Growing up in Fremont has also shaped me because our community is very diverse. I have friends and classmates from many different cultures and backgrounds. It has taught me that people can look at the same issue very differently. These three things have made me want to listen to other people's opinions and not assume that everyone has the same experience as me. * Create and answer your own question.

Question: What is one thing you would like to change for teens in Fremont? I would like teens in Fremont to feel more comfortable with not being perfect. There can be a lot of pressure to get the best grades, take the hardest classes, be involved in a lot of activities, and already know what you want to do in the future. Social media can add to that because we usually only see the best parts of other people's lives and not the things they are struggling with. I think we need more spaces where teens can be honest about mistakes, failures, and things that didn't go as planned. I would love to create something like an “Imperfectly Me” event where high school students, college students, and even adults in our community could share a mistake, rejection, or challenge they experienced and what they learned from it. The goal wouldn't be to tell teens not to work hard. It would be to remind them that you can work hard and have big goals without expecting yourself to be perfect all the time. I think hearing other people's real stories could help teens realize that everyone has setbacks and imperfections, even people who seem very successful.

Additional Information
I am a 10th grade student and I am interested in medicine, public health, mental health, government, and community service. I recently participated in a multicultural community event in Los Altos and really enjoyed seeing people from different cultures come together and share their traditions. It made me curious about what kinds of multicultural events, youth programs, and community activities are available in Fremont. Even though I have lived here for years, I realized there are probably many things happening in my own city that I don't know about yet. I would like to learn more about them and help other teens learn about them too. I have also participated in Assemblymember Alex Lee’s Young Legislators Program, AIM Youth Mental Health, peer support, and volunteering. I would be excited to bring what I have learned to the Youth Advisory Commission, but I also want to learn from the other commissioners and understand more about my city and how I can contribute.

* Why do you want to serve on the Youth Advisory Commission? I want to serve on the Youth Advisory Commission because I hope to be the voice Fremont students don't have. Since I was 6 years old, I had always had a passion for community service and hoped to find different ways to help our community grow and become stronger. Throughout the years, I have learned that you have to fight for the change you hope to see, nothing comes for free. I hope that by being a part of the Youth Advisory Commission, I am able to be the voice of my generation and raise the importance of mental health. We live in a society where mental health issues such as depression are seen as a problem, an ugly mark. However, we often don't try to support people navigating mental health conditions. I hope that by being a part of the Youth Advisory Commission, I am able to help my peers and give them the support they need to feel welcome and confident and to know that they have support as they go through the journey regarding mental health. * What is a problem Fremont teens face and propose an event to address this problem. How would you organize and publicize this event? I believe that a problem Fremont teens face is that as a society, we don't care about mental health enough. Fremont teens don't have the support and resources they need as they navigate the confusing stages of adolescents. People often believe that being a teen is easy, no need to worry about taxes or that annoying boss of yours who often makes you work overtime. However, we often only see one side of the story, the side that makes everything seem shiny and easy. When we step into our teenage years, stress from school, drama, the pressure of being the best student in class often causes teenagers to feel depressed, stressed and have anxiety. As a society, we often don't value the importance of mental health. Having mental conditions such as depression are not seen as something we can work together to overcome, it's seen as an ugly mark in our life, something we should be ashamed of. I hope that by being a part of the Youth Commission, I can help raise awareness about mental health. I hope to organize an event in May, Mental Health Awareness Month, where there can be workshops, booths, fun activities for people of all ages to understand the importance of mental health and how it's not something we should be ashamed of. I hope to publicize this event by posting it on social media in entertaining ways on social media websites like Instagram and Facebook so we can capture people's attention. I hope to use trends or other entertaining ways to advertise our event so we can better capture the younger generation's attention. In addition, I hope to collaborate with other organizations, local hospitals and the local government to help the event reach its full potential.
* What are three (3) aspects of your identity that shape your outlook on life? One aspect of my identity that shaped my outlook on life is the understanding that not everyone will appreciate and like you. As my mom will always say, you're not money, not everyone will understand your worth and like you for who you are. In the beginning of middle school, I was living in this belief that you need to be perfect, everyone Page | 1

7.B.1.a
Packet Pg. 222 Attachment: Youth Advisory Commission Applications (5833 : Mayor Salwan Referral: Appointments to Advisory Bodies; Boards & needs to like you in order for you to be successful. However, as I went through middle school, I slowly realized that no matter what you do, not everyone will like you, the most important thing is that you like yourself and understand your own worth. I hope that by having mental health workshops, I am able to help all my fellow peers who are facing the problems I was going through and showing that just because one girl doesn't like you, doesn't mean that it's the end of the world, doesn't mean that you failed; it just mean that you guys are different and have different opinions. The second aspect of my identity that shaped my outlook on life is the importance of delegation. I was Hopkins Middle School's ASB President from 2025-2026. At the beginning of my term, I always tried to do everything by myself. Need help emailing every single teacher at Hopkins? I’ll do it. Need to finish making 2 videos by tonight? I’ll do it. However, as the school year progressed, I learned the importance of teamwork and how delegation can help lift off the weights on everyone’s shoulder. I saw that by splitting up the work evenly among everyone, we can not only finish everything faster but also focus on one thing and produce the best quality work we all want to see. The third aspect of my identity that shaped my outlook on life is the significance of Emotion intelligence(EQ).

In order for people to fully showcase who they are to you, you have to be emotionally intelligent and understand other’s emotions. I believe that having strong emotional intelligence is an important skill to have to start the mental health workshop. We need to be able to connect with others and understand others to truly help them and give them the support they need. Oftentimes we don’t realize the significant impact a small smile and compliment can have and I believe that having a strong emotional intelligence can help us create a stronger and better community and tomorrow. * Create and answer your own question.

What is your biggest fear and what did you learn from it? When you ask someone what their biggest fear is, the answers are often heights or spiders, however mine is a bit different, my biggest fear is those normal yellow pencils that every classroom has. A few months ago in March, I was running to be my freshmen class president and my opponent was this really popular guy. One day when I was walking around school with my friends asking for people’s support, his supporters cursed at me and threw items at us, including balls and those perfectly normal yellow pencils. After that, I wasn’t able to face those pencils because it isn’t normal anymore. Those pencils started to symbolize the hate and aggression I and my friend faced just because I decided to run against a popular kid, but most importantly, it symbolizes the failure of how I failed to win the election and the role of Freshmen Class President. Even after the election, the verbal aggression didn’t stop, people still came up to me and called me names and laughed that I lost to the guy. This was when my best friends (and Taylor Swift songs) came and helped me. They gave me the support I needed and taught me that just because you lost an election doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. The most important thing is that you tried your best, you had fun and you learned something from the experience. Their support showed me the importance of mental health and how I also want to help people my age and show them that they are not alone, and it doesn’t limit to just people who run for election. Those normal yellow pencils started to symbolize resilience and the importance of support and mental health; instead of failure. I hope that by being a part of the Youth Advisory Commission, I am able to help others reform their normal yellow pencils.

I want to serve on the Youth Advisory Commission because of two major reasons that can be described with one word: growth. First, I want to further my skill development as a person looking to go into the professional world in the future. Through being apart of Mayor Salwan’s youth internship program this past year, I have developed important skills, such as professionalism through communicating with diverse audiences and communication by collaborating with fellow interns. Being a part of the Youth Advisory Commission is an experience that brings a new slew of responsibilities and a team of similar individuals. I want to gain this experience to foster new relationships, gain a new professional skillset, and make new memories that will prepare me in my future endeavors. Second, I want to help the growth of the youth within our community so that they can undergo transformative, empowering experiences. This past year, I had the opportunity to serve on the East Bay Youth Council, where I got to hear the youth perspective on issues in the Bay Area, including healthcare, immigration, and food insecurity. I would bring this experience to the Youth Advisory commission and use my perspective as a youth community member myself to understand the needs of my peers. Within this position, I would aim to voice the concerns of the youth in our community while seeing simultaneously first-hand the challenges that they face. By being on this commission, I would aim to amplify our youth’s voices to shed light on underrepresented problems and to tackle the obstacles that they deem most challenging. Serving on the Youth Advisory Commission is a place to enact a better foundation for our youth.

Through my passion and past experiences, I am well prepared to initiate solutions for improvement within the commission that will benefit the youth in Fremont. *
Currently, many Fremont teens face the issue of mental health and academic pressure. Fremont is located in a highly competitive area, which can caused students to feel an immense amount of pressure and burnout. Students have to handle multiple responsibilities inside and outside of school, which can contribute to feelings of stress. This pressure is important because it extends beyond temporary stress; it can lead to exhaustion, severe mental health struggles, and even physical health issues like a weaker immune system. Although this issue has been mitigated through the introduction of Wellness Centers in schools, many students do not utilize these resources enough because of fear or embarrassment. To address this problem, I would work with the fellow youth commission members and organize workshops for all Fremont teens. Workshops can allow us to create supportive environments while reaching a large group of people. When planning this event, I would first focus on finding a large, accessible location, such as a library, which has a large amount of students and meeting rooms. After obtaining approval, I would publicize this event through social media channels, school outlets, and physical flyers placed in libraries or local event centers. I would ensure that the publicity is engaging and resonates with our audience. Along with the youth commission members, I would plan the workshops. These workshops could entail presentations that de-stigmatize the issue of youth mental health and show students that they are wellsupported. I would also include hand-out filers of resources that are highly accessible in Fremont for mental health. Furthermore, the event could contain guest speakers from current teens that can share their stories to foster a more encouraging and comfortable environment. Lastly, this workshop would include a fun, engaging activity, such Email

By tackling the issues that teens deem most important and and holding engaging workshops, we can positively impact the youth in our community. *
My experiences while growing up have shaped the core values I hold today: resilience, empathy, and advocacy. At a young age, I was deeply affected by parents divorce because I was scared of my family splitting up, moving to a new place, and leaving my friends behind. My parents told me to keep the divorce a secret, making it harder to handle. Keeping this struggle to myself showed me the importance of empathy. Although someone may seem fine on the outside, they could be facing challenges that others know nothing about. Because of this, I strive to treat everyone with kindness and empathy as even a small act of kindness can go a long way. My perspective of a South Asian woman has also shaped my outlook on life. In my community, divorce and domestic violence are heavily stigmatized issues. I have seen close family friends affected by domestic abuse who refuse to speak out. Furthermore, my mom hesitated to initially get a divorce because she feared the reactions of her community, especially since divorce wasn’t common in her home country. In both situations, the people were fearful of speaking up because they believed the the stigma around it. This has shown me that not everyone gets the chance to speak up. When we are given the chance to speak up, we should always take advantage of it. Advocating for issues that you deem important is essential in being a change-maker and contributing to a safer environment. Watching people refuse to speak up for themselves has empowered me to be a voice for those who cannot be a voice for themselves. Lastly, my participation in DECA has strengthened my resilience. This past year, I campaigned to become a DECA state officer, which required months of speech writing, campaign filming, networking, and creating a unique portfolio as well as a campaign booth. Although I was not elected and felt as if my hard work did not amount to anything, I did not let this setback define me. Instead, I became more involved in my chapter by working on new projects and met some of my closest friends through campaigning. Even though this was something that seemed like a loss to me at first, it still ended up being a win because I was able to create new memories and friends, while also learning how to come back from the setbacks that I have faced. When things don’t go as planned, it’s always important to try your best because unexpected opportunities can always come out of hard work. *
Question: How do you express your creative side? With my computer open to Canva, I lowered the transparency of the light blue overlay to 29%. The color still didn’t look right, so I tried again but with a different shade of blue. I contrasted the color of the overlay with the design elements, focusing on the balance of the post. Finally feeling satisfied with the final product, I eagerly got ready to release my “NorCal DECA ‘26 Recap” as the first post on my personal DECA account. From the moment I received my first phone and downloaded PicCollage, graphic design has become my favorite way to express myself. Graphic design is my digital diary, allowing me to capture my favorite memories through colors, images, and creative layouts. From creating themed collages based on my interests to designing vision boards and social media posts for DECA, I found a passion in creating beautiful posts from simple, ordinary pictures. At WHS PawPacks, my passion turned into something that created actual impact. Within WHS PawPacks, a club dedicated to supporting animal shelters, I have been trusted with capturing our events and creating collages for Instagram, allowing me to reach hundred of students and connect with nearby shelters. Through this form of visual storytelling, I have learned how to leverage graphic design, and constantly learn new techniques to fuel my interest. Despite my keen interest, sharing my designs was not always easy. I always found myself comparing my work to the thousands of posts I saw online and contemplating if my work was actually good enough. Low engagement on my posts made me doubt my abilities at times. Eventually, I realized he value of my work wasn’t determined by the number of likes it received, but by how much I enjoyed creating these designs. I learned to appreciate the smallest details, from the placement of a graphic to the size of a font, because every element contributed to the visual story in the graphic. When the Arkansas State president commented, “this post is amazing,” on my “NorCal DECA ‘26 Recap,” I realized that my passion could be used to connect people. Although it was something that I was creating for pure joy, it allowed me to connect with someone states away. Graphic design isn’t just making aesthetic posts; It is a form of documenting memories, a chance to express yourself, and an opportunity to build connections.

* Why do you want to serve on the Youth Advisory Commission? I don't just want to be involved in my community, I want to help shape its future. Serving on the Youth Advisory Commission would allow me to represent the voices of Fremont's students while working alongside city leaders to create meaningful change. Over the past several years, I've looked for ways to make a positive impact in my school and community. Each opportunity has taught me valuable lessons about leadership, service, and collaboration. This began with my journey in Scouting, where I first developed a passion for civic engagement and serving my community. Growing through the ranks to become a Star Scout has taught me how to connect with others and drive meaningful results every day. During my term as a Den Chief, I have taught younger scouts learn life skills and am constantly finding ways to contribute to the troop.

Through Scouting, I've interacted with various people such as the Fremont Mayor Raj Salwan, and Newark City Council member Eve Little. To share the lifelong benefits of music, I launched a private piano practice where I currently manage and teach 10 students. I developed strong communication and organizational skills by executing all marketing efforts, including designing flyers, launching Nextdoor campaigns, and pitching directly to local parents. Building community and supporting younger peers is deeply important to me. As a WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) Leader, I mentored incoming middle schoolers to ensure a smooth, welcoming transition into a new environment. I carried this dedication into peer tutoring, helping classmates navigate challenging subjects and build academic confidence. Recognizing the diverse student populations across Fremont's various high schools, I want to leverage my background in student support to bridge these separate campuses and foster a more unified, citywide teen community. I am incredibly eager to learn how our local government actually works behind the scenes, collaborate with the other commission members, and work hard to turn our collective ideas into real city initiatives. Ultimately, I want to make sure every single teen in Fremont knows that their voice matters and feels like their city genuinely has their back.
* What is a problem Fremont teens face and propose an event to address this problem. How would you organize and publicize this event? The Problem: Hyper-Competitiveness and High Academic Stress. I know from experience that Fremont teens face immense pressure to succeed academically, which can sometimes lead to isolation and stress. There are very less casual, and non-academic public spaces where local students can gather safely to relax without the pressure of performance and competition. Proposed Event: Fremont Teen Unwind & Create Night I propose a free, low-stakes evening at a local community place like the Centerville Community Center or Central Park. This event will feature completely unstructured, relaxing activities designed to help students recharge. Some examples include: DIY craft stations, casual gaming, and a social lounge. Organization Strategy: As a Star Scout, I have spent years learning leadership, team building, and community organization. I will use these skills to execute this event across three phases: First, I would focus on the venue and approval which includes working with the Fremont Recreation Division staff to secure the space and to get necessary city approvals. Then I would get sourcing materials by working with art teachers and other student clubs at AHS to get bulk Page | 1

Packet Pg. 227 Attachment: Youth Advisory Commission Applications (5833 : Mayor Salwan Referral: Appointments to Advisory Bodies; Boards & craft supplies affordably. Finally, I would recruit other Youth Advisory Commission members, other scout troops, and other student volunteers looking for community service hours to manage the tables and greet others. Marketing & Publicity: To ensure a high turnout, I would ensure outreach from 2 branches. First, I will request school leadership accounts and the official City of Fremont accounts to repost them. I would also have In-School outreach which would include distributing flyers to campus bulletin boards and request the school administration to include the event details in morning announcements and newsletters. In addition to the above, I also plan on having social media campaigns to include short videos of how we envisage the event to happen. Once when the event is a success, we can organize the events every month. A place where all teens from Fremonts different high schools can get together and have a good time. * What are three (3) aspects of your identity that shape your outlook on life?

1. Keen Reader & Empathetic Listener Growing up, I constantly had my nose in a book, exploring different worlds and characters. Those diverse stories taught me early on that everyone carries a unique background and hidden struggles. Because of this, I’ve become an intentional listener which is someone who listens to understand rather than just to reply or judge. On the commission, this means I will approach every student’s concerns with genuine empathy, making sure the quietest voices in the room are truly heard. 2. Collaborative Team Player Working in scout troop 132 has proven to me that success relies entirely on collective effort, not individual accolades. I bring dependability and a cooperative spirit to every project in scout, be it being a patrol leader for a camp out event or being a den chief to Pack 110. When working on commission projects, I will always bring that team-first mindset by focusing on collaboration, finding smart compromises, and supporting my peers. 3. The Local Environment & National Parks Enthusiast Exploring local trails and nearly every national park, monument, and historic site across California has given me a deep appreciation for sustainability and our country’s rich cultural heritage. Nature has taught me patience, preservation, and the importance of environmental stewardship. On the commission, this part of my identity will drive me to advocate for eco-friendly youth events, better utilization of Fremont’s parks, and initiatives that encourage local teens to step away from screens and connect with the outdoors. * Create and answer your own question.

Question: How do you plan to handle disagreements or conflicting priorities when working on projects with a diverse group of peers? Answer: I don't see disagreements as a roadblock. To me, they're actually a great opportunity to push our ideas further. When you bring together a diverse group of commissioners, naturally people will have different opinions because we all come from different schools and backgrounds. That variety is a strength, not a problem. As a Star Scout, I know how to guide a team through conflicting ideas while keeping everyone focused on the task. I can provide an example from my recent experience working as a Den Chief for Pack110. At one of the instances where cub scouts were loosing attention, I made sure I contacted the Den leader and put forward our (I and fellow den chief's) proposal of engaging cub scouts more effectively by teaching them skills through games and reward. Whenever tension pops up, my first instinct is to step back and remind everyone of why we’re here in the first place: our shared goal of supporting Fremont’s youth. As a WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) Leader in my middle school, my instinct was to ensure that everyone feels included, respected, and heard without interruption. I don't look at debates as something to win or lose; I look for creative compromises that would combine everybody's ideas. For instance, if people are split on throwing an arts event versus a sports event, my goal would be to find a cool way to weave both together. Ultimately, as long as we keep our communication open, respectful, and entirely focused on the students we serve, we can easily turn conflicting opinions into strong, collaborative solutions.

Additional Information
So far I have balanced my school grades well with my passion for community work. I wish to continue that and taking a step up. And here I would like to repeat what I stated before: "I don't just want to be involved in my community, I want to help shape its future". My true passion lies in long-term leadership, entrepreneurship, and community work. As an active Star Scout, I spend much of my free time focused on civic responsibility, team collaboration, and local volunteer projects, conservation projects across the City of Fremont. I also love using my organizational skills to give back to the community. I spend my time teaching piano to 10 younger students, helping them learn a valuable new skill that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Music is a huge part of my life. I have already passed the rigorous ABRSM Music Theory exams and am currently practicing hard for my final advanced playing test. It is incredibly rewarding to use what I've learned to mentor the next generation and share a love for music with kids in my neighborhood. In my day-to-day school life, I really enjoy helping others find their footing. Whether I am guiding younger peers through tough school transitions as a WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) Leader, or helping my classmates master difficult academic subjects as a peer tutor, I love being someone people can rely on. Everything I have done so far—from building community through my Scouting volunteer projects to helping teens at school through WEB and peer tutoring—has inspired me to take this work forward to benefit all Fremont youth, rather than just my own scout troop and school campus. I am deeply motivated, thoroughly organized, and have already adjusted my personal schedule to ensure a full commitment to all of the Commission's monthly meetings, weekend events, and volunteer tasks throughout the year. Lastly, Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to dedicate my time to this role and look forward to driving meaningful positive changes to our community.

Questionnaire
* Why do you want to serve on the Youth Advisory Commission? I want to serve on the Youth Advisory Commission because I care about making youth perspectives a real part of city decision-making. Through Fremont Youth Vote and my work with the Mayor's Office, I have helped mobilize students, shape youth-centered messaging, and speak at board meetings to highlight issues that matter to teens. My experience on SURFBoardE also strengthened my understanding of how to represent a large and diverse student population, since the group speaks for more than 32,000 students across Fremont. These experiences taught me how to listen, collaborate, and advocate in ways that build trust between youth and adults in leadership. YAC would give me the chance to continue this work by helping create programs and conversations that make civic engagement accessible and meaningful for all Fremont teens. * What is a problem Fremont teens face and propose an event to address this problem. How would you organize and publicize this event? One major issue Fremont teens face is feeling disconnected from civic processes and unsure how to get involved. Many students care about issues like mental health, transportation, or school policy, but they do not know where to start or who to talk to. I would propose a Youth Civic Kickstart Summit, a hands on event where students can learn practical skills like speaking at public meetings, understanding local government, and organizing around issues they care about. I would bring in youth leaders, city staff, and student organizers to run workshops and panels. To organize it, I would partner with high school clubs, the Mayor's Office, and local nonprofits. For publicity, I would use the strategies I already manage for Fremont Youth Vote, including IG reels, student friendly graphics, classroom outreach, and coordinated messaging through school leadership networks. The goal would be to make civic engagement feel less intimidating and more like something any teen can step into. * What are three (3) aspects of your identity that shape your outlook on life? First, my identity as a youth civic advocate shapes how I see community power. I believe young people can move institutions when we are organized and confident. Second, being a public speaker influences how I approach challenges. I am comfortable stepping into spaces where teens are not usually heard, and that pushes me to lead with clarity and courage. Third, my outgoing personality shapes how I connect with people. I enjoy meeting new people, learning their stories, and building relationships, and that makes collaboration feel natural to me. These parts of my identity guide how I show up as someone who is curious, community minded, and ready to take initiative. * Create and answer your own question.

Question: What motivates you to keep taking on new leadership roles? Answer: I am motivated by the impact I see when students feel empowered. Whether it is helping classmates understand a policy issue, organizing turnout for a board meeting, or creating youth friendly messaging, I have seen how small actions can shift the culture of a Page | 1

Every time I see a student step into leadership because they felt supported or inspired, it reminds me why I do this work. I want to keep creating spaces where teens feel confident using their voices.

Additional Information
Outside of civic work, I am passionate about financial literacy and making practical education more accessible for students. I have been developing research and learning how to teach financial basics in ways that make sense for teens. I am also active in speech and debate, which has taught me how to think quickly, communicate clearly, and advocate for ideas with confidence. Across everything I do, I try to bring clarity, creativity, and a youth centered perspective. I care deeply about Fremont's students and want to help build systems that support us not only as learners but as emerging leaders.

* Why do you wish to serve as member of this Advisory Body? I have a strong background in education, combined with my academic training (Master’s, B.Ed., and PhD), has equipped me with strong communication, cultural competence, analytical thinking, and collaborative problem‑solving skills. I believe that meaningful change happens when all voices are heard, especially those who are often overlooked. My wish to serve on the Human Relations Commission because I am deeply committed to promoting equity, inclusion, and community well‑being in Fremont. I have been in the teaching profession since 2000, including 15 years as a lecturer, and I currently work as a Resource Specialist in an elementary school. Through these roles, I have worked closely with students and families from diverse cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Many of the individuals I support facing challenges, related to language barriers, disability, mental health needs, and limited access to essential services. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of the issues that impact underserved communities and the importance of creating systems that are fair, accessible, and supportive. I believe that serving on this Advisory Body would allow me to contribute my professional experience and advocate for policies that strengthen community connections and improve the quality of life for all residents. I am particularly passionate about improving access to services, supporting mental health initiatives, strengthening community engagement, and promoting inclusive programs that reflect Fremont’s diversity. I believe that meaningful change happens when all voices are heard, especially those who are often overlooked. I hope to bring strengths and create a positive environment to the Commission and work alongside others who are dedicated to building a more equitable, welcoming, and connected Fremont.
* What would you bring by way of perspective or experience to this Board or Commission? I will bring my experiences and skills of family relation and support, community engagement, and working directly with diverse populations from my teaching, including 15 years as a lecturer and my current role as a Resource Specialist in an elementary school. My field provided me deep understanding of the challenges faced by multilingual families, students with disabilities, and individuals navigating mental health and socioeconomic barriers. These experiences give me a grounded, real‑world perspective on the needs of underserved groups in our community. Teaching work work requires strong communication skills, cultural competence, empathy, and the ability to collaborate with families from many backgrounds. I regularly support individuals who face obstacles related to language access, disability services, and limited awareness of available resources. This has strengthened my ability to listen carefully, identify gaps in support systems, and advocate for solutions that promote fairness and inclusion.

Another perspective I would bring to the Human Relations Commission is my ability to communicate in multiple languages. I speak English, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada, which has allowed me to connect with people from different cultural backgrounds and better understand the importance of communication, inclusion, and cultural awareness. I believe language can be an important bridge in helping people feel heard, respected, and connected to their community.

I wish to serve on Fremont’s Human Relations Commission because I want to help strengthen the connection between the City and the people it serves, particularly young people and residents who may not always know how to access local government or human services. Fremont is one of the most diverse communities in the Bay Area, and that diversity is one of our greatest strengths. At the same time, a diverse community requires intentional work to ensure that residents feel heard, respected, and included in civic life. My interest in public service has centered on turning community concerns into practical policy and civic participation. Through youth civic engagement, voter registration, legislative advocacy, and work with local leaders, I have seen that people are more likely to trust government when they understand how it works and believe there is a meaningful way for them to participate. I would bring that same approach to the HRC’s work of preventing discrimination, promoting mutual understanding, advising the City Council on human-services issues, and helping ensure that vulnerable residents can access support. I am especially interested in the HRC because its work goes beyond responding to individual incidents. It can identify emerging community needs, bring organizations and residents together, support effective human-services programs, and create educational initiatives that reduce barriers before they become larger problems. I would like to help the Commission become an even more visible bridge between City Hall and Fremont’s neighborhoods, schools, cultural communities, and service organizations. As a student, I would also bring a perspective that is rarely represented on municipal commissions. Young people experience Fremont’s schools, public spaces, transportation, community programs, and civic institutions every day, yet they are often absent from the tables where community priorities are discussed. Serving on the HRC would allow me to contribute that perspective while learning from commissioners and residents with different backgrounds and experiences. I would approach the role as both an advocate and a listener, with the goal of helping Fremont remain a city where every resident can participate, access support, and feel that they belong. *
I would bring experience in civic engagement, public-policy advocacy, accessibility, and community organizing, along with the perspective of a student who has grown up in Fremont. Through voter-registration efforts, legislative advocacy, work with local government, and volunteering with the California School for the Blind, I have learned that inclusion depends not only on who has a seat at the table, but also on whether residents can understand, access, and influence the institutions that serve them. I would bring that perspective to the Commission by pursuing initiatives that translate the HRC's mission into concrete City policy. One idea I would explore is a Human Relations Impact Statement for major City policies affecting public-facing services. Similar to other analyses incorporated into government staff reports, it could identify potential barriers involving language access, disability accessibility, community participation, or access to human services before a policy reaches the City Council. I would also support a standard for Fremont's human-services network. Residents seeking help should not have to understand the organizational structure of City government or navigate multiple agencies independently. Working through Fremont Human Services and City-funded service providers, the HRC could help develop a standardized referral framework so residents who contact one participating organization can be connected efficiently with other services for which they may qualify. The HRC helps evaluate Fremont's Social Board, Commission, or Committee you wish to serve on:

7.B.1.b
Packet Pg. 250 Attachment: Human Relations Commission Applications (5833 : Mayor Salwan Referral: Appointments to Advisory Bodies; Boards & Services Grant Program; I would also examine adding an accessibility component to the grant-review process. Applicants could be evaluated on factors such as multilingual outreach, disability accessibility, culturally responsive communication, and coordination with other service providers. This would allow the Commission to use an existing funding process to encourage measurable improvements in access. Finally, I would propose a Fremont Resident Policy Lab like the one in Manteca, California. Rather than simply explaining local government, workshops would teach residents how to transform a community concern into an actionable municipal proposal by identifying the correct jurisdiction, researching existing policy, developing recommendations, and presenting them effectively to City decision-makers. Selected proposals could then be referred to the appropriate commission or City department for further consideration.
