The I CARE Advisory Council was originated 40 years ago, prior to the creation of the I CARE Program, by the founding fathers of I CARE. The current council, which is comprised of 40+ community leaders who serve to keep our program connected to the community, includes 2 student members, in addition to a few emeritus members. The term for a student council member is 1 year. The full council meets 5 times each year, usually in September, November, January, March and May. Meetings are usually held the 2nd Wednesday of each month except when that is a holiday, such as Veterans Day in November. Meetings are held at Christa McAuliffe Library.
Council members are asked to attend the council meetings which begin at 11:30am. for networking. Formal meetings begin at 12 p.m. and always end no later than 12:30 p.m.
A Junior Advisory Council of high school students meets periodically to assist I CARE staff in developing programs relevant to their peers.
