The 190,000 campaign aims to increase the number of panel members, which form the Foundation for Scotland's Children's Hearings System, by at least 450. In 1971, hearings took over from the courts most of the responsibility for dealing with children and young people under 16 who commit offences, or who are in need of care or protection.
Ethnic minorities and men are the main targets of the campaign, which will run for at least two weeks.
