In 1986, the citizens of Palm Beach County recognized the widening gap between the growing needs of children and their families and the limited resources available to meet those needs. In response, they voted overwhelmingly to create a special district of local government to specifically support services for the county’s most vulnerable: Our children.

Today, the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County, a special taxing district, invests its resources in programs that help Palm Beach County children begin life healthy, remain free from abuse and neglect, enter school eager and ready to learn, and thrive in quality after-school activities.

Mission

The Council’s mission is to enhance the lives of children and their families and enable them to attain their full potential by providing a unified context within which children’s needs can be identified and resolved by all members of the community. To achieve this, the Council plans, develops, funds, and evaluates programs and promotes public policies which benefit Palm Beach County’s children and families.
