Join us as we speak up and stand up for children.

The Jacksonville Children's Commission is a member of the Florida Children's Services Council (FCSC) which supports primary prevention and early intervention programs that promote positive family functioning.

Each year the FCSC identifies and monitors primary legislative issues and leads the charge to speak on behalf of children and youth.

Step Up for Kids Day is September 16, 2008!
If you think programs benefiting children should be a priority during the 2008 election season, check out how you can Step Up for Kids.
