Eckerd Child and Family Support Services is accepting
applications for the Community Advisory Council. The Council
provides a critical link between the Eckerd program and the Rutland
County community. Comprised of diverse community members
devoted to making a difference in the lives of children and
families, this volunteer position requires a one year commitment,
attendance at quarterly meetings, and assistance with community
outreach and fundraising.
Eckerd is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide
and share solutions that promote the well-being of children and
families in need of a second chance. Each year over 200 Rutland
families receive services designed to strengthen family functioning
and promote resiliency in children and youth allowing children to
grow up in safe, healthy families and assisting youth to transition
to adulthood.
Eckerd was founded by Jack and Ruth Eckerd in 1968. Today Eckerd
is one of the nation's leading providers of services for at-risk
children and their families operating over 30 programs in six
sates.
