Together, we’re building something stronger.

We’re proud to officially become part of the Community Investment Department (CID), uniting four LA City departments to better serve Los Angeles communities.
As of July 1, The Youth Development will now be known as the Office of Youth Development (OYD).

This marks an important moment as we unite our efforts to better serve communities across Los Angeles. By bringing together our collective expertise, programs, and services, we’re creating a stronger, more coordinated department; better positioned to strengthen our city and support the next generation of leaders.

The name may change, but our commitment to LA’s youth remains stronger than ever.

Budget advocacy 2026 brought together neighbourhood councils, budget advocates, and community members to share ideas and exchange perspectives. The program also featured a panel on city services and several keynote speakers, including Mayor Karen Bass and City Comptroller Kenneth Mejia. 

Additionally, OMYC alumni lead a youth breakout session, allowing youth to share what they believe are the top priorities for youth moving forward. Many youth seemed to share a desire for more community spaces, youth community engagement programs, and greater transparency in how the city invests in youth.

Do you want to get involved? Applications for OMYC close tomorrow (June 30th). Reminder to follow us if you want to be notified of opportunities like this as they become available.
