Parent Advisory Committee

The purpose of the Office of Children’s Services (OCS) Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is to ensure that parent voices help shape OCS services, programs, and strategies. The PAC will advise OCS based on the parent perspective and provide input into agency policy development and practice improvements.

Join our Parent Advisory Committee and make a difference in child welfare.

Forms

Meetings

Third Monday of every month, 6pm-8pm, via Zoom.

Structure

Parent Leaders are the decision-making body of the PAC and are responsible for meeting monthly and providing feedback to OCS. Each Parent Leader also represents up to five Parent Voices from their region.

Parent Voices bring an added layer of depth to the group by contributing their unique perspectives, creating a large pool of expertise that the PAC can access when needed. Parent Voices do not have any meeting requirements and are able to contribute when available by providing input to their assigned Parent Leader.

Five Parent Voices are assigned to each Parent Leader. If you would be interested in becoming a Parent Voice in your region, please consider joining our Parent Advisory Committee.
