As a new agency established in July 2024, the Department of Children, Youth, and Families is undergoing a strategic planning process to draft an agency mission and vision.
Based on input from community and partner engagement, the work of the DCYF Implementation Office's Vision for Policy and Equity Workstream, existing division strategic plans and originating agency strategic plans, a draft mission and vision statement have been created. These statements may change throughout the agency’s ongoing and future strategic planning process.
Vision:
(Draft Recommendation) A Minnesota where all children, youth, and families are valued, treated equitably and thriving.
Mission:
(Draft Recommendation) To advance equitable outcomes for children, youth, and families through transformative, partnership-driven policies, programs and practices.
