Palm Beach County Youth Services Department's cross-divisional action teams recently delivered virtual presentations to the Leadership Team. The presentations provided a chance for the teams to gain feedback and guide the strategic plans forward. The Equity and Diversity, Sanctuary–Trauma Informed, Seeds of Success, and Youth Engagement teams each successfully presented their goals, metrics, and strategies.

“These cross-divisional teams allow every member of the department to contribute," said Tammy K. Fields, Youth Services Department director. "I'm so pleased with the teamwork and the creative thinking, and look forward to putting many of these recommendations into place."

Since the kick-off last quarter, Youth Services Department's cross-divisional teams have held bi-weekly virtual meetings which allow team members to work with their co-chairs to develop ideas and solutions to improve overall organizational performance.​
