Community Committee
The CYS Community Committee is comprised of individuals who are either residents of or are employed in Wheeling or Prospect Heights. Community residents are charged with developing and implementing strategies, activities, and services intended to prevent delinquency and violence.
The CYS program focuses on a comprehensive approach addressing community engagement; youth voice; connections to existing health, employment and human services; family communication and supervision of youth; life skills development; college and career preparation; parental expectations of their youth; and advocacy strategies to improve physical environments impacting violence and delinquency including school climate.
The CYS Community Committee Meets quarterly at Wheeling Park District.
Upcoming meetings:
