The Council's mission is to strengthen individuals, families and the community by identifying their needs and connecting them with partnered resources and support systems. This advisory board reports to the Bloomington City Council and School Board. Strong families build strong communities. Shared resources will improve community services. Community members should have equal opportunities and access to community resources.
People have the right to make decisions for themselves.
The City of Bloomington, a partner with IYV 2001, will engage in activities to further involve more volunteers who will make a difference in the community. In June 2001, Human Services will coordinate Join Hands Day, a partnership of youth leaders and adults working together to plan a project to improve Bloomington. Human Services will facilitate the process of opening a proposed Volunteer Center in Bloomington. The new year will ring in a new area code for Bloomington. On January 12, our area code will officially change to 952.
