Fresno Measure P Proposal: Youth Civic Service Clubs
In June, 2021, the Civic Education Center (CEC) took 120 Fresno youth in three groups to Camp
Fresno, thanks to Mayor Dyer and the Fresno Parks and Recreation Department. They guided
students to appreciate nature and to practice leadership skills and civic values. Groups considered
how their city could be improved to serve the needs of youth. Their proposals include creating
jobs for youth and providing youth programs at community centers with leadership development,
youth dialogues, and civic service projects.
CEC proposes developing Civic Service Clubs at 3 Fresno City Community Centers for local
secondary students. We will collaborate with City and Community Center staff on site selection
and how to organize these teen clubs. Meetings will include fun leadership activities, civil
dialogue on current issues, and implementing community service projects. Expert facilitators will
teach democratic principles and civic values and guide the development of shared agreements. At
each of the 3 Community Centers, two students will be elected as Co-leaders with a salary of
$1,000 each semester (a total of 6 teen jobs). They will work with staff to invite youth voice and
cooperation at club meetings and service projects.
As clubs research issues and plan service projects, CEC staff will bring in qualified experts and
community-based organizations to share information and resources. For example, if the club
wants to paint a mural with a positive message, we will hire an artist who can guide that process.
The 6 Co-leaders will be invited to the annual Youth Summit at Wonder Valley. Clubs will
present their projects at the Fresno Youth Showcase in May.
This is a great opportunity for youth to engage in representative democracy. Community service
and civic engagement projects empower youth to become responsible citizens who serve their
community. They learn to take responsibility for their lives and to contribute to something
greater than themselves. Fresno Unified School District is now giving high school students the
opportunity to earn the State Seal of Civic Engagement at graduation, if they have participated in
a civic service project.
Request:
CEC requests a grant of $200,000 from Measure P funds, to plan and implement the pilot Civic
Service Clubs. We will meet with City Parks and Recreation staff to select the 3 Community
Centers. We suggest Mary Ella Brown, Ted C. Wills and Mosqueda Centers. Hopefully, each
Community Center will start a Community Service Club.
Goals:
1. Create a safe community space for youth
2. Facilitate civil dialogue and deliberation on topics they choose
3. Support youth service and civic engagement projects
4. Develop youth leaders who apply civic values and plan projects
5. Showcase positive contributions of youth
The Fresno Civic Learning Partnership was created in 2016 to train teachers to guide students
to learn American civic values and ideals, identify a community problem, research to
understand causes and potential solutions, and implement a civic service project.
The Civic Education Center became a non-profit corporation in Fresno in 2018.

Holiday Soccer Clinic Summary
12/18/2021
Holiday Soccer Camp is our annual free soccer camp that took place this year on Sunday
12/19/21 from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm. 65 youth soccer players registered for a 2-session
camp (31 in session 1 and 34 in session 2). We had 2 licensed coaches, a physical
therapist and 3 assistant youth coaches running the camp. The camp also featured our
“Health Matters” all-you-can-eat snack bar, designed by a registered dietician. In
addition to soccer training and a healthy snack bar, each child received a Santa hat for
the scrimmages and jingle bells to create a festive and joyous atmosphere.
Data from registration
Most of our attendees had some experience
playing youth soccer, both in recreational
leagues and competitive leagues although the
vast majority have only played recreational
soccer.
During online registration, 15% of respondents
said they cannot afford to put their child in any
soccer programs. 60% said they had limited
finances for low cost soccer opportunities. And
the other 25% of respondents said they have no
financial limitations to enrolling their child in a
soccer program.
During the online registration, 78% of
respondents who registered their child for
the clinic reside in the city of Fresno with
the most common zip codes being 93710,
93711, 93726 and 93727.
How does this compare to previous holiday camps?
For safety reasons, we cancelled all camps in 2020 due to the pandemic.
In 2019, 50% of families who attended the camp said they can afford to put their child in recreational
leagues. 25% said their child can’t play soccer without some financial assistance. And the other 25%
of respondents said they have no financial limitations to enrolling their child in a soccer program.
During the online registration, 37% of respondents who registered their child for the clinic reside in
the city of Fresno (primarily in the 93722 area). The other children reside in Clovis, Sanger, Caruthers,
Auberry, Kingsburg and Madera.

Definition: A site with a good rating is free of major problems and may have
some repairable mechanical/equipment issues, a park site with a fair rating
indicates some mechanical/equipment defects that require major repair and/or
replacement, and a park site with a poor rating has major defects and requires
significant lifecycle replacement and/or redesign. Parks in poor condition are
included in the Measure P parks prioritization criteria. Data was collected from
an on-site park assessment.

determined by mapping access to existing park amenities. Park amenities
(e.g. playgrounds, shaded picnic areas, etc.) were given a buffer for

ranging from 1 to 5 miles. Analysis was based on park assessments and
