AI Summary

This bill aims to establish an Office of Youth Development within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The office would organize and implement pilot programs in several cities to provide a coordinated, comprehensive youth development services delivery system to improve and promote good citizenship among youth aged 7 to 18. The programs and activities would be designed based on youth development research and would focus on developing social skills, avoiding violence and gang involvement, promoting positive behaviors, job and career opportunities, and community-building. The programs would be implemented through contracts with federally qualified community health centers, and include research, coordination, and training components. The bill also establishes a dedicated fund to sustain the initiative for at least 5 years, with the city of Springfield as the first community where the office would be established.
