The City of Irvine is accepting applications for two volunteer parent/guardian positions on the Irvine Child Care Committee.

The Irvine Child Care Committee acts in an advisory capacity to the Community Services Commission by providing input on the needs of families and children in Irvine and child care-related issues.

The full committee includes five City Council appointees; two center- or home-based child care providers; two parents/guardians; two community representatives; and one representative from each of the following educational organizations: Irvine Unified School District; University of California, Irvine; and Irvine Valley College.

Applicants must be the parent or guardian of a child younger than 12 years old at the time of the application submittal and be willing to commit to a two-year term of active service from January 2025 through December 2026. Irvine Child Care Committee meetings are held the second Tuesday of select months (at least six times a year), from 9 to 10:30 a.m., at the Irvine Civic Center or other Irvine locations.

Applications are available at cityofirvine.org/childcare. Completed applications must be submitted online by 5 p.m. Thursday, August 29. For additional information, contact Traci Stubbler at 949-724-6635 or tstubbler@cityofirvine.org.
