LMBs Role in the Community

Maryland's Local Management Boards are uniquely positioned as key community partners and play a key role in ensuring that the needs of their most vulnerable populations are illuminated and met.

We partner with local governments, nonprofits, and community stakeholders to address complex social challenges. Our work focuses on:

  • Child and Family Well-being: Supporting initiatives that improve access to early childhood education, mental health services, and family stability.
  • Youth Development: Investing in youth engagement and violence prevention programs.
  • Economic Stability: Promoting workforce development and services that reduce economic hardship.
  • Advocacy and Policy: Advancing policies that promote equity and well-being across Maryland.

By leveraging data, building partnerships, and investing in community-driven solutions, we help create healthier, more resilient communities.

 Collaborating for Stronger Communities in Maryland

Why are LMBs so Effective?

LMBs are committed to collaborating with state and local partners to make systems equitable and effective for children, youth and families.

Each county operates an LMB to ensure the implementation of a local interagency service delivery system for children, youth, and families. We are neutral conveners bringing diverse voices together and work where families and children live and where they receive services.
