Advisory Committees

Both the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF), and the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) use a variety of external advisory committees, groups, and task forces. Some are open-ended and others are limited in duration.

Membership design differs according to the purpose and sometimes provisions in an enabling authority.

Contact the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office to be considered for appointment to a state council, board or commission. Each month a list of vacancies appears at https://www.sos.state.mn.us. An application form also is available on the site. For more information, contact the Secretary of State's Office at 651-297-5845 or mailto:open.appointments@state.mn.us
