About F5 Mendocino Commission

For the past 20 years, First 5 Mendocino has invested in local programs and services for young children and their families to fill gaps in the early childhood systems so that families have access to the community-based support they need. First 5 Mendocino County Commission is comprised of nine local professionals representing different sectors that impact young children. They are appointed by the Board of Supervisors for a three-year term.

The Commission meets 6-10 times a year, with an executive committee meeting two weeks prior. The meetings are open to the public and held at various locations throughout the county with call-in options to provide access to our communities.

All agendas with the date, time, and locations will be posted to the First 5 Mendocino website and posted outside the office doors at least 72 hours in advance of the meetings.
