What is the Citizen’s Advisory Board?

Pennsylvania Code (Section 3130.21) requires Cumberland County CYS executive officers to appoint a Children & Youth Citizen’s Advisory Committee. Board members review matters referred to them by CYS executive officers and/or the administrator, then suggest policies regarding operations and programs. The Board also gives advice concerning the CYS Service Plan and budget estimates.

Although the Advisory Board is not the public relations arm of the agency, members strive to promote a better public and consumer understanding of the CYS program and objectives.
