Through the Pomona Youth Leadership Network, the City of Pomona is working to engage youth and families in the way their government operates and provides services.

Our goal is to increase engagement and recruitment of youth grades 6 to the first year of college, and their families in leadership groups, mentoring opportunities, afterschool programs and other supportive resources City wide.
