MEET OUR COMMISSIONERS
Commissioners
A seven member volunteer commission oversees the work of First 5 in Yuba County, which supports the health, development and well-being of our youngest children through their first five years. Commissioners are selected and appointed by the Yuba County Board of Supervisors based upon their expertise in early care and education, health care, social services and children with special needs. The full commission meets the fourth Thursday of every month at 3:30 p.m. Meetings are held on Zoom until further notice.
