Program Teams

Managed by a Program Supervisor, each Family Connections program includes a team that includes:

School Community Liaison (SCL) who organizes programming and coordinates scheduling. The SCL is often a trained counselor or licensed social worker.
Parent Partner who’s a member of the local community and plays a critical role in engaging families in the program.
Presenters to deliver workshops to families and school faculty. They are experienced content experts and engaging facilitators.

Students whose families are involved in their education achieve greater academic success.

Program Design

Family Connections bridges the family-school-community relationship gap to ensure children are supported inside and outside of the classroom. To accomplish this, a Family Connections Program Liaison is housed at your school, facilitating and organizing conversations and workshops for community members and staff.
