About Us
Letter from the Chairperson
Dear Friends,
It is with great pride that I welcome you to the Florida Children’s Services Council (FCSC) web site. This site marks one of many milestones we have reached in our efforts to increase the visibility and awareness of children’s issues in Florida. Within the pages of this web site, you will also learn the story of children’s services councils (CSCs) and the incredible value they bring to Florida’s children and families.
CSCs are committed to making strategic investments in prevention and early intervention programs proven to help children and their families lead healthy and productive lives. It is this visionary thinking that prompted the CSCs to establish a statewide association called the Florida Children’s Services Council.
Through the FCSC, children’s services councils are better able to share and promote best practices for serving Florida’s children and families. We are building productive relationships with like-minded individuals and organizations that recognize Florida’s future starts with our children. We are also stronger and more unified in our efforts to advance the children’s agenda at every level.
In short, FCSC engages the collective strengths of individual CSCs to guide policy and opinion in a direction that ensures all of Florida’s children and their families have access to the programs and services they need to be healthy, well-educated and productive citizens. I urge you to learn more about CSCs, and how you can help to create a brighter future for Florida by investing in our children today.
Please take some time to look around this web site. I hope you will visit often.
Sincerely,
Modesto E. Abety
FCSC Chairperson
CEO, The Children’s Trust
