Area Specialists and Family Services Associates work in partnership with parents to assist them in mobilizing community resources to promote their leadership skills; help them to develop personal goals and to design a plan for education or employment.
Partnerships are forged with local community agencies, hospitals, clinics, WIC programs, dental offices, employment programs, schools and organizations that provide free and low-cost services for families.
