Galt Area Youth Coalition

The Community
Galt is in southern Sacramento County, about 30 miles from Sacramento. Although it is the main city in the coalition’s targeted geographic area, the communities of Acampo, Herald and Thornton also are involved. With an estimated population of 28,000, Galt is one of the Central Valley’s fastest-growing communities, and during the past decade the area has become more culturally diverse.

The Coalition
The Galt Area Youth Coalition is a growing partnership formed to create positive opportunities for youth ages 10 to 15 within the boundaries of the Galt Joint Union High School District.

Our vision for the Galt area is one in which:

  • youth will be healthy, well-nourished and physically fit
  • youth will have access to a wide range of educational, cultural and recreational activities
  • youth will have meaningful opportunities for involvement, membership and leadership
  • our schools will prepare youth for adulthood by providing a rigorous and relevant education program with multiple opportunities for high-quality service learning
  • our community will provide safe, affordable and accessible facilities for education, recreation and entertainment
  • our community will provide safe and environmentally friendly options for pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle traffic
  • our community will respect and value ethnic and cultural diversity
