Since 1992, the Montgomery County Collaboration Council for Children, Youth, and Families has brought together public and private service providers to address the needs of Montgomery County, Maryland’s children under the age of 18 and their families. One in four county residents fits this youthful profile.
Designated as a Local Management Board (LMB) by the State of Maryland, the Collaboration Council’s purpose is to be a catalyst for agencies and other groups to collaborate to achieve positive results in the community.
As a quasi-public non-profit, our work continues to grow and change to meet the ever-evolving needs of the county’s residents. Our work is led by a diverse and dedicated Board of Directors who represent the community we serve.
