The Committee's mission is to provide ongoing review and evaluation of the City's children, youth, and family-related initiatives. 
 

Children, Youth & Family Strategic Plan

The Irvine Children, Youth and Families Advisory Committee meets quarterly to review and evaluate the City of Irvine's Strategic Plan for Children, Youth and Families. Meetings are held 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays at Irvine Civic Center.

Children, Youth & Family Strategic Plan Update

The City first launched the Children, Youth and Families Strategic Plan in 2002 to better understand and address the needs of families in Irvine. Community engagement plays a pivotal role in helping the City identify opportunities for new, enhanced, and innovative ways to support families in areas such as: child care and school readiness; youth alcohol, substance use, and other risky behavior reduction; and health and wellness.
