The Las Vegas City Council on Feb. 4 approved $45,000 in city funding for 45 youth-led neighborhood projects recommended by the Youth Neighborhood Association Partnership (YNAB) grant-review board.
Dr. Tammy Malich, director of Youth Development and Social Initiatives for the City of Las Vegas, presented the YNAB recommendations and noted the program’s local track record. Youth board chair Ayanna Castro and vice chair Chloe Camarillo summarized the projects—ranging from food and care packages to literacy and community-improvement efforts—and described the community match in volunteer hours, in-kind donations and cash that amplifies the city contribution.
Castro said she was ‘‘tremendously grateful’’ for the opportunity to serve on the review board and highlighted the youth applicants’ commitment to practical community projects. Camarillo described the variety of projects across city wards and outlined funding amounts by project and ward during the presentation.
Mayor Pro Tem Knudson moved to approve the YNAB board’s recommendations; the motion carried.
What’s next: The approved allocations will be distributed to the 45 projects; city staff and the YNAB board will monitor implementation and outcomes.
(Reporting note: grant totals and project lists are drawn from the presentation to the council on Feb. 4, 2026.)
