NORTH TAMPA FCAC

The Children's Board Family Resource Centers have a group of community members called the Family Community Advisory Council (FCAC). The Councils meet once a month to discuss and bring to management's attention any services or programs they feel are needed or wanted in the community. There is also a FCAC Playgroup for your children to attend while you are in the FCAC meeting. If you are interested, please contact the Center you are interested in. Your input drives services for your community.

The North Tampa FCAC meets the First Thursday
of every month from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.
