What is a Family Resource Center (FRC)?
A place to connect, learn, and grow, together.Â
The goal of a family resource center (FRC) is to support families. They provide opportunities to take part in activities, spend time together, learn new things, and connect with others. FRCs strive to create an environment where families feel comfortable and included. The staff are caring and experienced, enjoy working with kids and families, and know a lot about how children develop.
“We’re here for parenting, regardless of what that looks like or how you define it.” – Tricia, Family Resource Center Leadership
Family Resource Centers incorporate the Five Strengths into everything they do.

- Thoughtful Parenting: Supporting parents with challenges as children grow.
- Strong Connections: Offering time for families to get to know each other.
