Children's Services Council & the Community

Since 1990, the Children’s Services Council of St. Lucie County has been a dedicated steward of taxpayer dollars, providing funding for prevention and early intervention programs, advocating for children, and training the social service workforce that provides services to children and families.

The mission of the Children’s Services Council and the reason for its existence is to provide primary prevention and early intervention programs to improve the quality of life for all children and families. During these economic times, many families and their children face new stresses previously unfelt. CSC strongly believes that its current core of over 50 funded programs, which reach nearly 30,000 children and families, provides a necessary safety net of primary prevention and early intervention services.
