Objectives & Accomplishments

Councilmember Ashby is committed to serving the youth in the Sacramento area. She identified the funding to establish the Boys and Girls Club on the campus of Inderkum High School. The club played a vital role in ensuring academic achievement, recreation opportunities and life skills for youth, and prioritized the participation of young people living in affordable housing.

​

Our libraries are the foundation of youth development in Sacramento in that they provide access to wifi, computers, digital platforms, and critical resources for students. Ashby has been a champion for our libraries, leading the parcel tax expansion (Measure B) in 2014, having served as chair of the library authority, and having helped keep the doors open on all city branches when three were slated for closure. She promotes programs like Summer Reading that help close the achievement gap. The North Natomas branch boasts the county’s highest participation rates in summer reading, leading to greater opportunities for literacy and academic success, regardless of socioeconomic status.
