King County government will work with families, communities, and schools to create and sustain a protective and nurturing environment for the health and successful development of children.

Overview

The King County Children and Family Commission was established in May 1992 by the County Executive and Council. The purpose of the Commission is to:

• provide oversight and review of the County's systems that provide service to children and families;
• promote cooperation among departments;
• evaluate the effectiveness of programs that serve children and families;
• oversee implementation of policies adopted by the County Council concerning children and families; and
• concentrate on building links between the County's service system, communities, and schools.

The Commission is made up of a broad cross-section of our community including youth, parents, service consumers and professionals. Members reflect the multi-cultural diversity of King County's citizens. Several members sit on the Commision as liaisons for other County Boards and Commissions in order to share information and facilitate better integration of services. The Commission meets on the second Monday of every month at 5:30 PM at the Casey Family Headquarters located at 1300 Dexter Avenue North, Seattle, first floor conference room.
