The mission of Family Focus is to promote the well-being of children from birth by supporting and strengthening families in and with their communities. We help parents gain confidence and competence as the primary caregivers and educators of their children. We provide parents and their children with critical resources and learning opportunities to encourage healthy development in their communities.

Violence Prevention Programs
To prevent violence, after school programming supports children and youth ages 6-14. The programs provide positive alternatives to premature sexual activity, early parenthood, school dropout, and gang involvement by educating youth about their personal responsibilities and boundaries. Initiative focuses around academic success, exposure to the arts, and mental health services for children. During the summer, we provide all-day camps for children, utilizing teens form the local community to serve as camp counselors.
