About the Family Resource Centers
The Family Resource Centers (FRCs) are located in schools in both rural and urban areas of Lane County. They offer a variety of activities that are flexible enough to meet the needs of the communities in which they are located yet are required to have minimum criteria to build in consistency across the county. They offer services and activities, in both English and Spanish, which support healthy families and school readiness and include:
- Access to community resource information and referrals, phone and fax
- Parent education
- Child literacy groups and story times
- Family activity nights, parent-child and parent-youth activities
- Playgroups
- Parent resource libraries
- After school enrichment
- Parent literacy and computer support
- Assistance with accessing school personnel
- Basic needs resources
- Drop-in services for families, children, youth and teens
This diverse range of supports have a proven track record of connecting with parents of children of all ages and demonstrating significant progress in student achievement and parent-child relations.
Most sites offer at least one or more of the following Best Practices and promising practices in parent education:
- Make Parenting a Pleasure (for families with children ages 0-8)
- Parenting Wisely (computer based program for families with adolescents)
- Incredible Years (for families with children ages 0-10)
