Task Force

The purpose of the Island County Child Care Partnership Task Force is to develop collaborative, multi-sector partnerships to assess current childcare resources and needs in Island County and explore ways to expand capacity of and access to child care programs, especially for historically marginalized communities and families. 

The Task Force will help conduct an in-depth child care needs assessment, engage the broader community, and develop priorities and a pilot project for addressing the child care shortage in Island County. 

The responsibilities of the Task Force members include:

•  Attend and actively participate (yourself or proxy) in all Task Force meetings.

•  Complete assigned tasks by agreed-upon deadlines and provide timely feedback when requested.

Time commitment for members for task force meetings, preparation, and assignments is approximately 4 hours per month through September 2021. Due to COVID-19, all meetings will be held virtually and/or by telephone.
