About the Commission Workgroups

Since its establishment as a working body in 1998, Commission members have designated work groups to help them plan for an improved system of services for children and their families, to advise local government, and to fulfill state and local service mandates. These groups - encompassing over 200 individuals - are essential to the full functioning and implementation of the Commission and to the inclusion of a diverse constituency in setting its goals and priorities.

On an annual basis, reviews community agency applications to the City and County and makes funding recommendations to the City Manager and County Executive.

• Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee
Develops and implements recommendations for the juvenile justice system to prevent delinquency, promote diversion and rehabilitation and to evaluate, improve and coordinate juvenile justice services and interventions.

• Partnership for Children
Implements and coordinates a community-wide initiative focused on children, ages 0-6, and their families, to "build a supportive community where children are born into healthy families and arrive at school ready to learn."

• Stepping Stones Advisory Committee
