25 Years of Impact. One Powerful Story. Your Tax Dollars at Work.

What difference has the Children’s Services Council of Broward County made in our community — and what return are taxpayers receiving on their investment?

Join us on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. for a special online presentation highlighting independent research on CSC Broward’s impact across the county.

Research teams from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Florida International University, and Partner for Better will share findings examining CSC’s role in strengthening community programs, improving outcomes for children and families, and generating an average Return on Investment of $6.18 for every dollar invested.

Learn how these investments are helping nonprofit partners improve the quality of services reaching more than 20,000 Broward children and families — strengthening families to help reduce the risk factors associated with child abuse, and diverting youth from deeper involvement in the juvenile justice system.

For 25 years, CSC has invested Broward property tax dollars in prevention, partnerships, and proven programs that help children thrive and families succeed.

A simple question — "How are you really doing?" — can open the door to an important conversation.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or needs immediate support, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
