OFFICE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH
Director: Tucky P. Heller
301 W. Preston Street, Suite 1502
Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 383-2290
The Office for Children and Youth was created
by Chapter 426, Acts of 1978. The basic purpose
of the Office for Children and Youth is to coordi-
nate programs, services, and plans for children
and youth. The accomplishment of these purposes
precludes operation of programs and services.
Rather, it is to assist operating agencies, local
governments, and organizations in carrying out
their functions efficiently, economically, and ef-
fectively and to assist families and the general
public in knowing and obtaining information
about programs, services, and plans for children
and youth. The Office consists of a Director,
twenty-four local Children's Councils, and the
State Advisory Committee for Children and
Youth. Within the Office is the Youth Advisory
Council, formerly associated with the Governor's
Commission on Children and Youth, Department
of Human Resources.
The Director for Children and Youth is
appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the
Governor and is directly responsible to him.
Among other duties, the Director examines
programs, services, and plans for children from
birth through age eighteen to identify
duplications, gaps in service delivery or inefficien-
cies, effectiveness of programs, resources, and
unmet needs. In regard to children's programs
and services, the Director secures and analyzes
Departmental plans and budget requests, reviews
Federal funds used by and available to the State,
collates relevant Governor's Budget items, issues
impact statements, and makes recommendations
to the Governor and appropriate Department
heads on planning and expenditures. The Direc-
tor serves as liason with Departments and local
governments to coordinate services and to make
the best use of existing resources to effect an effi-
cient and systematic delivery of services. With
representative local Children's Councils and other
child advocacy groups, including parents, the Di-
rector receives advice on resources, needs, and
priorities in different localities. In addition, the
Director provides public information on
children's services in the State, advises the legisla-
ture on the needs of children and their families,
and prepares an annual report to the Governor
and the public.
The Advisory Committee, appointed by the
Governor, consists of the Secretary of Health and
