State Children’s Cabinets and Councils: 2008 Directory (PDF; 130 KB)

In states across the country, established through legislative or executive orders, cross-agency coordinating bodies called children’s cabinets, commissions, or councils are systematically changing the fragmented and ineffective way states typically do business for children and youth.

Children’s cabinets and councils (which vary in structure from state to state) typically are made up of heads of government agencies with child and youth-serving programs, who meet on a regular basis with the collective goal of coordinating services, developing a common set of outcomes, and collaboratively deciding upon and implementing plans to foster the well-being of young people.
