Advocates
The mission of JCC's advocacy effort is
to provide child advocates easy access to the best available information about current advocacy issues.
Join us as we speak up and stand up for children.
The Jacksonville Children's Commission is a member of the Florida Children's Services Council (FCSC) which supports primary prevention and early intervention programs that promote positive family functioning.
Each year the FCSC identifies and monitors primary legislative issues and leads the charge to speak on behalf of children and youth.
Current legislative issues are explained in the FCSC 2007 State Legislative Package (71K)
