The Children’s Board of Hillsborough County (CBHC) often seeks feedback from the citizens of Hillsborough County through various community engagement strategies like town halls, surveys, and community meetings. This information is added to our ongoing community research and the reviewing of local data and community trends. Additionally, the Children’s Board of Hillsborough County engages stakeholder agencies, community leaders, and through feedback from members of CBHC-funded agencies, help to generate a complete picture of the various needs of our Hillsborough County families. All the information gathered from these efforts, will help to inform future funding and programming priorities, for the Children’s Board to better respond with the supports necessary for Hillsborough County families to thrive. Your involvement in this moment is so important to the success of the Children’s Board of Hillsborough County’s many programming endeavors and overall mission.
