Building on a solid history of working together to address the needs of children and youth, the City of Grand Rapids sets out to harness the passion and commitment of a community that seeks to put youth at the forefront. Our Community’s Children, formerly The Office of Children, Youth and Families, is asked by the Grand Rapids City Commission, the Community Forum on Youth Violence and the Grand Rapids Community Relations Commission to lead a coordinated effort to create a Youth Master Plan–a blueprint for the community to improve outcomes for children and youth.
