Citizen Review Board - Home

About Us

The Citizen Review Board (CRB) is a program within Oregon’s state court system that reviews the cases of children in foster care. Boards of citizen volunteers from local communities conduct our reviews.

We bring transparency and public oversight to foster care cases and a path for citizens to shape public policy affecting Oregon’s most vulnerable children and families. Currently, there are 55 boards in 33 of Oregon’s 36 counties.
