Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison says he has put aside $140,000 for youth programs throughout the city in next year's budget. 

The budget included $40,000 for the "youth activities and opportunities program." That money was dedicated to funding clubs, leagues, and summer educational programs.

The funding put aside for youth programs in next year's budget is a $100K increase from last year. 

The Poughkeepsie Common Council is expected to vote on the mayor's proposed budget next month.
