How will my membership benefit the Childrens Advisory Commission?
The CAC is composed of a diverse group of members, including representatives of human service agencies, school districts, IUP, and other community organizations, as well as parents and other community representatives. As a representative of your organization or community, your voice is important. Everyone has a unique perspective on the needs of children in Indiana County, and the strength of the CAC is in the diversity of perspectives it represents. Moreover, advocating for children is hard work. Members are needed to help with activities such as grant writing, staffing tables at community events such as Stand for Children and helping to evaluate CAC projects. Each member has a unique set of skills to contribute, whether it is knowledge of the community, the ability to work with people, the ability to write well or analyze data, or simply, the time and interest to identify needs or locate resources.
