Benton County Commission on Children & Families

About Us

The Benton County Commission on Children and Families (BCCCF) was created in the 1993 Legislative session under House Bill 2004 and reaffirmed in 1999 under Senate Bill 555. The BCCCF is a volunteer board comprised of youth and adults who are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to provide advice to government and non-government agencies on ways to improve outcomes for children, youth, and families.

The BCCCF is also responsible to promote wellness for the children and families, mobilize communities, and develop policy and oversee the implementation of a local coordinated comprehensive plan.

See our current Request for Proposals.
