Family Social Services
Our Programs
Kinship Alliance
What is Kinship Care?
The full-time care, nurturing, and protection of children by: Relatives (through blood, adoption, or marriage); Godparents; Stepparents; or any adult who has a bond that the family recognizes as significant to the child/family.
Family Child Care Services
Our in-home approach makes it convenient for providers to access professional learning support that is individualized to capitalize on their talents and passions while strengthening their observational and reflective capacities. Instead of prescribing remedies to address perceived deficits, the Early Learning Specialist builds a relationship with the provider to learn how best to support them.
Fatherhood Engagement Training
This 24-hour training is designed to provide fathers with information about the child welfare systems, the courts, child support, and to increase parenting skills. Our goal is to engage the fathers of children who are placed in out-of-home care and to increase the father’s involvement in the lives of their children.
Fathers In Transition (FIT)
This program is designed for African American Fathers who have been involved in the Criminal Justice system. These fathers face barriers to housing and employment. The goal of our program is to assist fathers with employment and housing so they can positively impact the lives of their children and the community.
Young Bulls Fatherhood Academy
Young Bulls Fatherhood Academy (YBFA) serves young African American Fathers ages 18 to 24 who are vulnerable to violence. Our program offers services and support to promote success. Our coaches are experienced Black men who are motivating and supportive.
