Clergy Community Advisory Board

What is a CAB?

CCAB

A Clergy Community Advisory Board (CAB) is a network of pastors and individuals in church leadership that meet monthly to discuss needs related to children and families in crisis in their communities. The focus is on raising awareness and creatively and strategically addressing child welfare & community needs. When communities don’t have high proportions of children and families in crisis, clergy are encouraged to join CABs in communities that do.

Currently there are CABs in Grand Prairie, Brownwood and San Antonio, Texas, and in Hawaii. We are currently working toward establishing collaborative work in South Dallas and Ellis county.

1. Review the data relating to children in care in the targeted community.
