Since 1994, Cecil Partnerships for Children, Youth and Families, Inc., has been the Local Management Board for Cecil County, responsible for the planning and implementation of programs to serve the community. By combining State, Federal and Local funds, we have collaboratively developed innovative programs that address the needs of our county’s children, youth and families.

As Cecil County’s child and family planning agency, Cecil Partnerships has been the catalyst among child-serving agencies and organizations to seek interagency collaboration, program accountability, and local decision-making authority.
