Family Services
When parent and family engagement activities are systemic and integrated across program foundations and program impact areas, family outcomes are achieved, resulting in children who are healthy and ready for school. Parent and family engagement activities are grounded in positive, ongoing, and goal-oriented relationships with families.
Family Engagement enriches all areas of the program. The Program suggests that Parents dedicate 70 hours each Program year to volunteer/engage in Program activities.
