Original
Agreement of Articles, 1996
The focus of the
Council shall be children and their
caregivers - parents, relatives or other
individuals.
With that focus, we believe that:
Families can be productive,
self-reliant, nurturing and accountable.
Communities can encourage and support
family stability and hold families
accountable.

Therefore, we will provide leadership to
empower families in Clark County and foster
an environment where:
All families can have adequate food,
clothing, shelter and healthcare.
All children can live in a home environment
that is supportive, non-violent, and free of
drug and alcohol abuse.
Marriage relationships can be strengthened,
and fathers can be an active part of the
family.
All children can live in neighborhoods that
are safe, secure and supportive.
Families can have opportunities for jobs
that provide adequate income to meet their
basic needs.
All children can be in school every school
day ready to learn.
The Clark County Family Council will strive
to attain the following among the agencies
and institutions that serve children and
families:
Program Development – Involve families in
planning new programs that are responsive to
the needs of children and families, and
reduce or eliminate programs that are not
responsive to the needs of children and
families.
Accessibility – Make services available in
homes and neighborhoods.
Coordination – Develop a system for joint
planning, coordination of service delivery,
and collaboration among all agencies and
institutions serving children and families.

Clark County is a place where families, children,
and adults live in safe, healthy neighborhoods,
value each other, and succeed in school, the
workplace, and life. |
