Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Within California’s Office of the Governor, California Volunteers (CV) serves as the State Service Commission responsible for promoting service and volunteerism. California Volunteers’ mission is to empower and mobilize Californians to actively help tackle state and local challenges through volunteer and service action. Since 1993, the office has successfully addressed many state and local challenges by investing in service solutions, while leveraging public, private, and nonprofit resources.
The Youth Service Corps (YSC), formerly called the CaliforniansForAll Youth Service Corps grant program, is a Governor’s initiative administered by California Volunteers in partnership with California cities and counties. This program brings together youth across the state to help address urgent
File ID: 2025-01984 12/9/2025
challenges in their communities, while simultaneously learning key skills and earning money to help create career pathways.
In June 2022, the City accepted $6,980,080 from the State of California for the CaliforniansForAll YSC program to provide a work experience for 599 youth ages 16-30.
In June 2024, the City of Sacramento accepted a $2,874,428 grant from the State of California to implement a Youth Service Corps program in Sacramento. In June 2025, the City of Sacramento accepted an additional $3,030,876 grant from the State of California for a total of $5,905,304. The City’s YSC Program has three primary goals:
GOAL 1: Increase youth employment
GOAL 2: Develop career pathways
GOAL 3: Strengthen city/community capacity to address key areas of food insecurity, climate, education and public service.
Since receiving the initial CaliforniansForAll YSC grant, the City has contracted with over 30 community-based organizations to train and employ more than 800 youth and young adults. Current examples include 60 youth and young adults working with the Sierra Service Project, collectively providing over 8,000 hours of service in Climate Action and Food Insecurity initiatives. Over 200 high school youth have received summer work experience through the City’s partnership with community- based organizations. To date, we have also employed over 100 youth directly with the City of Sacramento, including more than 20 internships in the Information Technology Department.
Due to the success of the YSC Program, the State of California has reauthorized the initiative and allocated $50,351,363 for the 13 largest cities in the state. The City of Sacramento is eligible to apply for $2,472,252.
City staff is seeking Council authorization to apply for the full amount to continue strengthening partnerships with external organizations and to expand internal City pathways programs. The State anticipates notifying cities of award decisions by Spring 2026, with funding expected to become available in Fall 2026.
Policy Considerations: The City’s Office of Innovation and Economic Development is focused on better connecting residents in underserved communities with critical workforce resources. The workforce development priorities and goals are to build capacity, expand the reach of workforce development training activities and provide wraparound and supportive services into the neighborhoods.
The City’s workforce development programs will support and advance inclusive economic growth, improve the health of neighborhoods and support people, places, and actions that promote overall
File ID: 2025-01984 12/9/2025
economic recovery and impacts immediately and well beyond the pandemic.
Economic Impacts: Youth workforce programs are a key economic strategy that strengthens Sacramento’s long-term talent pipeline by preparing young people with real work experience and skills aligned to high-demand industries. When young people see real opportunity in their own city, they are more likely to stay, build careers locally, and contribute to the economic vitality of the region.
At the same time, youth employment reduces long-term public costs and improves community safety by keeping young people engaged, supported, and connected. Collectively, this makes youth workforce programs a smart and measurable investment in Sacramento’s economic future.
Environmental Considerations: The proposed action is not a project under CEQA because it relates to government fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §§15060(c)(3), 15378(b)(4)).
Sustainability: One of the key outcomes outlined in the City of Sacramento’s Workforce Race & Gender Equity Action Plan (2020-2025) is to establish a framework that strengthens career pathways into the City’s workforce. This includes developing work-based learning (WBL) programs that advance workforce equity, aligning efforts with the Citywide Youth Development Plan & Framework, and partnering with community organizations that support pipeline training and career readiness.
Additionally, the City’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan prioritizes early climate action across several focus areas, including expanding green jobs and building an inclusive workforce, as well as improving food access and advancing urban agriculture initiatives. These priorities reinforce the need for equitable workforce pathways that prepare youth and young adults for emerging climate and sustainability careers.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: The YSC Program provides funding to youth and young adults 16- 30 years of age giving priority to individuals who: are living in community priority neighborhoods, have difficulty finding employment, are low-income, are unemployed and/or out of school, are or were justice-involved, are in or transitioning from foster care, or are engaged with the mental health or substance abuse system.
Financial Considerations: The proposed grant application requests $2,472,252 from the State of California to expand workforce opportunities for Sacramento’s youth and young adults. The State does not require a grant match for this opportunity. If awarded, the revenue and expenditure budgets of the Youth Services Grant Project (G02180370) will be increased by $2,472,252 (Operating Grants, Fund 2702). It is anticipated that the funds will need to be expended by Dec 31, 2027.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND GOALS
A. Program Description
The Governor's Office of Service and Community Engagement (GO-Serve) elevates paid service and volunteerism in the state, promotes youth and community engagement, and advances public awareness and outreach campaigns to tackle the state's most pressing challenges. GO-Serve consists of the Office of Community Partnerships and Strategic Communications (OCPSC), California Volunteers (CV) and the Youth Empowerment Commission (YEP). The mission of California Volunteers is "to cultivate the opportunities, infrastructure, and culture necessary to empower every Californian to positively impact our greatest challenges." Youth Service Corps is a Governor’s initiative administered by California Volunteers in partnership with cities across California. The purpose of this initiative is to increase youth
5 employment, to develop youth interest in and experience towards a career, and to strengthen municipal capacity to address key areas of climate, food insecurity, education, and public service.
With Youth Service Corps funding, cities will recruit, train, and place high-need youth in positions within a new or existing youth workforce development program. Each grantee is responsible for selecting or creating these positions and recruiting, hiring, and managing youth. Grantees are encouraged to subgrant to existing community-based organizations (CBOs) with the capacity to manage these programs in areas where feasible. Programs must be a minimum of three (3) months—except for summer programs that serve high school and college-aged youth during academic breaks— and structured so that youth serve alongside at least one other program participant to help foster a meaningful experience. Regardless of length of program, all positions must be 50-100% full-time equivalents (FTE).
California Volunteers is making available $50,351,363.00 for the 13 largest cities in California. Please see the funding allocation below for the amount awarded to each city. Applicants may apply for and are encouraged to submit applications for the entire allocated award amount. Any California city not appearing in the list below and all California counties should visit californiavolunteers.ca.gov/grants to view additional funding opportunities. This funding represents the State Fiscal Year 2025-2026 allocation and must be expended by December 31, 2027. Funding for State Fiscal Year 2026-2027 will be allocated via a budget amendment during 2026.

PROGRAM DESIGN
A. Structure
California Volunteers will grant funds directly to cities on a monthly reimbursement basis.
Cities can choose to subgrant all or parts of the funding to existing CBOs providing youth workforce development programming. Cities (or subgrantees under supervision of a city) are responsible for selecting or creating job opportunities and recruiting, hiring, and managing participants. Funding can be used to create new programming or expand existing youth workforce programs within the requirements of this grant.
Programming can be run year-round, with a minimum term of three (3) months, or as an intermittent summer program serving high-school and college-aged youth during the academic summers. Programs must be structured so that youth are working alongside at least one other participant during their service. Regardless of program length, all positions must be 50-100% FTE and all funds must be encumbered and expended by the end of calendar year 2027.
B. Allowable Grant Activities and Expenses
Indirect administrative costs incurred by the city and/or subgrantee should not exceed 10% of grant amount. Direct operating costs may not exceed 30% of grant amount. If a city chooses to take the 10% administrative cost allowance, direct operating costs may not exceed 20% of grant amount. The combined cost of indirect and direct costs may not exceed 30% of grant amount. At least 50% of grant amount must be spent on wages for participants. This can include other wage related benefits and deductions incurred as “Other Participant Costs.”
Cities may spend up to 40% of funding on wrap-around services for participants. This can include services like transportation stipends/awards, job readiness training, and case management, or other services likely to help participants succeed in the program and/or gain employment after completion of program. Staff time, either at a city or by a subcontractor, can only be charged as wrap-around services for the amount of time
7 staff are providing services directly to program participants. Programs choosing to charge staff time to wrap-around services must track these hours separately from direct participant supervision.
All participants must receive compensation of at least $16.50/hr. or a local minimum wage, whichever is greater.
