Committee on Children, Youth and Families: Call for Nominations

CYF Call for Nominations (2017-2019)

The Committee on Children, Youth and Families (CYF) is anticipating two vacancies in 2017. CYF welcomes nominations from individuals interested in issues advancing psychology as a science and profession in the area of promoting the health and human welfare of children, youth and families. The committee is interested in candidates with substantial expertise and demonstrated experience in applying psychological knowledge to the well-being and optimal development of children, youth and families. Candidates are sought who have particular expertise in contemporary issues facing children, youth and families in the context of their socio-emotional and cognitive development and mental health. Additionally, candidates who have particular expertise in culturally and linguistically diverse, understudied, underserved and diverse populations are especially encouraged to apply. The committee also strongly encourages candidates with expertise in partnering with community, professional, government or other types of organizations to apply.


What Members Do

Members are expected to participate in targeted committee projects directly related to CYF's work and mission and to APA as a whole. Committee projects include consideration of multi-cultural concerns and approaches, attention to multiple levels of analysis, including the child, family and community, and focus of services programs. Candidates are encouraged to visit the CYF Committee website<http://www.apa.org/pi/families/committee/index.aspx> to learn more about CYF's mission.



The committee places a priority on maintaining representation within the committee's membership that reflects the diversity of psychology and society (e.g., ethnicity, culture, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, geographic location, early career and those who are employed less than full time). The candidates selected to serve on the committee will serve for three years and will be required to attend two committee meetings a year in Washington, D.C., with expenses reimbursed by APA, and to participate in conference calls. The committee will meet March 24-26, 2017, March 23-25, 2018, in accordance with the consolidated governance meeting schedule. The fall dates for 2017 & 2018 will be determined. The successful candidate is also expected to attend, if possible, the informal CYF meeting held during the APA convention at the member's own expense. In addition, members are expected to work on projects and committee business between meetings.


How to Apply

Each candidate must submit:



o    A letter indicating his/her willingness to serve.

o    A brief 1-2 page statement describing the applicant's expertise and interest in one or two contemporary issues facing children, adolescents and families that they would bring to the committee.

o    Two letters supporting their nomination.

o    A current curriculum vita.



Nomination materials including a letter from the candidate indicating a willingness to serve, an issues statement, two letters supporting their nomination and a current CV must be received by Aug. 31, 2016. Nomination materials received after Aug. 31 will be held for consideration the following year.
