Children and Youth Master Plan
On February 10, 2010, Mayor Karl Dean convened the first meeting of the Mayor’s Task Force charged with developing a Child and Youth Master Plan for Nashville and Davidson County. The Task Force consisted of more than 50 Nashville leaders from all sectors of the community including youth and was chaired by Metro Councilman At-Large Ronnie Steine, Renata Soto of Conexion Americas, and Jairus Cater a senior at Martin Luther King Magnet High School. Per Mayor Dean’s charge, the Child and Youth Master Plan will “provide a roadmap for Nashville/Davidson County to connect our children and youth with needed resources thereby allowing all of our children to thrive. The master plan will also serve as a vehicle to align various constituencies in a collective process in order to establish countywide priorities. These priorities will allow for the establishment of directed initiatives and interventions reflective of the community’s larger needs and allow for targeted funding in order to achieve said priorities.” After six months of work, the task force completed Nashville’s first-ever Children and Youth Master Plan.
