Applicants needed for Human Services Advisory Board

Posted On: July 8, 2021

Here’s your chance to make a difference in your community! The Volusia County Council is seeking applicants for positions on the county’s Human Services Advisory Board.

Members help county government decide how to use funding from the Community Services Block Grant program, which assists low-income individuals and communities. They meet regularly to review program operations, budgets, community feedback, and ways to better serve low-income residents in Volusia County.

The advisory board is composed of an equal mix of elected officials or their appointees; representatives of low-income individuals and families; and members of business, industry, labor, religious organizations, law enforcement, education, or other major groups and interests in the county. 

The term for the positions will run from Oct. 1, 2021, to Sept. 30, 2023.

Applicants should have the expertise necessary to accomplish the board's objectives, a reputation for integrity and community service, and an interest or experience in human services.

Members will be selected by the Volusia County Council. Applications and more information are available at www.volusia.org/advisory.

For information about the duties and responsibilities of advisory boards, contact Deputy Clerk Karissa Green at kgreen@volusia.org or 386-736-5920, ext. 12613.
