Empowering Families, Strengthening Communities

Supporting parents, nurturing children, and building stronger families—one step at a time.
At Neighborhood Centers, we believe strong families build strong communities. Our Family Support Program provides resources and services for adults who are expecting or have young children, helping families become self-sufficient, healthy, and ready for school.

Home Visits

We offer parenting home visits to help families work through issues they face, to set goals, and to provide an environment in which parents can talk about and practice their parenting skills.

Adult Education

​Our adult education program provides parents with a way to model continuing education and encourage family literacy. We offer English Language  Learners (ELL) and GED/ High School Diploma classes.
