· Historical Note:
Coordinating Councils, or voluntary neighborhood councils interested in community social welfare, were a national phenomenon during World War I. The Councils typically were concerned with the maintenance of community morale, the prevention of juvenile delinquency, and the promotion of wholesome recreation and character-building group activities for young people. As advisory rather than functional bodies, their effectiveness depended on the cooperation of community social service agencies, schools, parent/teacher associations, and law enforcement personnel. In Los Angeles County the first Coordinating Councils were launched in 1932 with the formal sponsorship of the Juvenile Court and the County Probation Office. The volunteer members of the Coordinating Councils attempted to cope with severe community dislocation during two world wars and a prolonged depression.
Between 1930 and 1952 these groups were known as the Los Angeles County Coordinating Councils
(later the Federation of Community Coordinating Councils of Los Angeles County) and Coordinating Councils, Inc
