The needs are great in Prince George's County and the Resource Center seeks resourcefully to meet them--offering a wide variety of services that foster stable child care programs, help working families, and nurture home environments where children can thrive. Its Family Support Center is the hub, where culturally competent, family-friendly programs are provided in English, Spanish, and French: child development and family literacy programs; parenting education and health education; job readiness and employment skills; in-home visitation and other services reach over 18,000 people each year. All services offered to families are free, including on-site child care and door-to-door transportation. The Family Support Center serves an additional 250 families--pregnant mothers and parents of children age four and under. In its Healthy Families program, the focus is healthy outcomes and positive parenting for the most at-risk, first-time parents; and the goal is to reduce child abuse and neglect. The Resource Center was the first organization in Prince George's County to be awarded the Standards for Excellence accreditation by Maryland Association of Nonprofits. The Resource Center reaches out to families all over Prince George's County: won't you reach back?
