North Idaho Advisory Committee

Our North Idaho Advisory Committee brings together local leaders, professionals, advocates, and community volunteers who are committed to strengthening support for youth and young adults who have experienced foster care, as well as kinship families in our community.

While our committee members have careers and responsibilities of their own, they generously volunteer their time, experience, relationships, and expertise to support Safety Net’s mission. Their local knowledge and community connections help us better understand the needs of the individuals and families we serve and strengthen our ability to connect them with meaningful resources and support throughout North Idaho.

We are grateful for each member who chooses to invest their time and talents in helping create greater stability, opportunity, and hope for youth, young adults, and kinship families in our region.
