Parent/Guardian Advisory Council
Dear Nevada County Community Partners,
We’re reaching out with an opportunity for parents or guardians in our community to contribute their voice and expertise to provide valuable feedback to local decision makers.
Through our Comprehensive Prevention Plan – developed via the Families First Prevention Services Act process – we’ve highlighted the need to have more direct input from parents and guardians.
Our desire is to build a council of parents and guardians who meet regularly to discuss topics that are of most importance to those who know and love the children and youth in our community. Meetings will be held, in English and Spanish, via zoom at times and dates that are most convenient for the participants.
All participants will be compensated for their time and energy. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in additional training or presentations related to child abuse prevention or topics related to those they’ve discussed (also compensated – $50/ meeting or training).
Our hope is that this group will be able to provide valuable feedback to decision makers, increase their own Advocacy skills, and support each other, with the help of the meeting facilitators.
The attached flyers below (in both English and Spanish) provides a little more detail and a QR code where participants can sign up and provide their meeting preferences. If unable to scan the QR Code, please click here to register. The kickoff meeting will be held in January 2024.
Please help us by sharing this flyer with parents or guardians who you feel would be a great fit for this opportunity. If you have any questions, please contact Alyssa Burke at csnncorg@gmail.com
Thank you for your ongoing support of Nevada County’s Parent Leaders.
