Each Family Resource Center provides a broad range of services, including services for families of young children. These services are geared toward supporting parents, keeping children safe, and supporting school readiness and school success. Many ANFRC members offer home visiting programs, such as Parents as Teachers and HIPPY, in order to help parents prepare their children for school. Several ANFRC members have also participated in Books, Balls, and Blocks Help Me Grow events.

ANFRC agencies are able to help each family succeed using a comprehensive service plan developed by the family. This process allows families to identify goals they want to achieve, helps them to identify steps to take, and utilize resources for achieving their goals. Once a family’s plan is developed, a Family Resource Center staff member then meets with the family on a regular basis to help the family evaluate their progress toward achieving their goals.
