Family Time
Family Time is a program that provides an opportunity for men to spend “time together” with their children while gaining knowledge and training to help raise successful children and strengthen their family. Our approach is to provide education and training to increase the father’s knowledge and skills in the following areas: understanding their role as a father; understanding child development; setting limits and boundaries; communication; understanding appropriate ways to discipline/punish and learning ways to reward good behavior.

Ready? Set! Work...
Ready? Set! Work...is a program that helps prepare men and women from the neighborhood for work. The program allows for a safe and friendly environment for ex-offenders or persons with barriers to employment (male and female) to learn appropriate employment and housing websites, make professional calls, produce resumes, cover letters, and meet with collaboratives and agents in the community.
