Goals and objectives are important to establish so Committee Members can describe what they want to
accomplish and how to get it done. If goals and objectives are not established, it may be difficult for
Committee Members to stay focused. A goal describes what a specific activity or program is about and
what it will accomplish. An objective is an action statement. It is more specific than a goal. Following
were the goals and objectives from 2006-2007:

of the dance.
Objective 1.3 Select date, time and location of dance.
Objective 1.4 Implement dance in April or May 2007.
This goal was not accomplished. YAC Members had difficulty trying to find a clay that didn't
conflict with school activities and their own personal schedules. As a result, Committee Members
didn't find a date which satisfied their needs and didn't hold the event.

Objective 2.2 Assist staff in the planning of the event.

Objective 3.1 Establish a clean up subcommittee
Objective 3.2 Select a specific area in the community to clean up.

Heritage Center by raking leaves, pulling weeds and general trash pick-up. They did this project
on April 28, 2007 as part of the City of Dublin Pride Week event.
In the process of developing goals and objectives, the Youth Advisory Committee should consider issues and
interests of Dublin youth and teens. Issues to consider are scheduling activities and events in the interest of
both middle school and high school youth. The Committee should also consider youth participation in City
sponsored special events, and how to improve the advertising of these events.

Staff recommends the Youth Advisory Committee receive the report and identify goals and objectives for
2007-2008 term.
