The Stark County Family Council was created to open a dialogue among service organizations and families in order to create a broader awareness of important child and family issues.  Working together, they develop, implement and evaluate coordinated responses to these issues.  In addition, the Family Council provides a public forum for families, organization and community members to meet on a regular basis to share information, highlight community activities and identify issues. 

The Family Council Board of Trustees is made up of seventeen public and private organizations, ten community representatives and six family representatives. Together, this group develops strategies and practices to maximize the funding and other resources available for child and family services, building upon the strengths of our community.   Currently these strategies include pooling resources and developing common practices across all of our service delivery systems.
