Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I apply for this program?

The website ActiveNet is used to enroll youth into our programming. You need to make an account before you can enroll your youth. The primary account needs to be parent/guardian information and then the youth can be added to the account. If you are having problems, you can contact program staff to assist.

How many times can a youth complete the program?

Youth may participate and complete the program up to a max of two times, while they meet the age eligibility.

Where can I find out if my youth lives within the city limits?

You may check to see if a youth’s house address is eligible on this webpage. If the address is within one of the 8 council districts you are within the city limits.

I tried to enroll my youth, but I was told that where I live is not eligible. I have an address within Sacramento why is my youth not eligible?

The City of Sacramento shares the same name as the county in which it resides. While you might have “Sacramento” in your address it might not be part of the City of Sacramento. More information can be found on this webpage.

I enrolled my youth in the program, but they will be out for “x” amount of time, due to a school event/vacation/sports practice/afterschool program, etc. Will this affect their enrollment in the program?

Due to the nature of the program and its monetary component, youth are only allowed one excused or unexcused absence. If there are planned missed days, we highly encourage you to enroll your youth in another session of program, that better fits their schedule. We hold sessions throughout the year.

This program sounds amazing, but I can't attend in person. Are there any online options?

All instructional program sessions are held in person at identified community center for eight weeks unless noted due to holidays and city building closure.
