Department of Family Services Alert:
The Department of Family Services' Children, Youth and Families (CYF) Division includes programs designed to protect children from harm, prevent child abuse and neglect, support families and help them remain together safely for the long-term emotional and physical health of the children.
During Foster Care Month this May, we recognize the role of foster care in providing children with opportunities to be part of safe, caring homes. We encourage county residents, faith-based organizations, and other public and private organizations to recognize the importance of foster care, consider how they can make an impact, and commit to supporting children and youth in need. Our theme “Awareness to Action – Supporting Foster Care Changes Lives!” is a reminder of the collective responsibility we share to support and uplift the most vulnerable members of our community. Learn how to get involved.
If you have an interest in helping children and families to thrive, come work with our Children, Youth and Families Division. Check out some of our open positions.
