People in our communities run the risk of falling into someone else’s dead-end plan on a daily basis. The challenge of saving our urban communities from the negative opportunities in the neighborhood is great, but the promise shown by the people who choose positive opportunities is even greater. The Family Center helps connect people to the positive opportunities and empower them to make life changes.

Through a number of unique programs and partnerships, the Family Center worked with more than 5,000 participants in 2006. Support classes through the Center for Fathering and Women’s Empowerment concentrate on parental direction and encourage participants to become responsible individuals—both personally and financially—for the sake of their children.

Family Center programs meet every Tuesday evening from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Dinner and childcare are provided.
