Family Community Resource Centers; The Next Steps to Community Schools

In this session attendees will learn not only what a Family Community Resource Center is but its expansion of a Community School and how the centers commit, connect, and renew opportunities for students, families, and the community as a whole. The presentation is interactive giving attendees opportunity to learn, participate, reflect, and begin to plan their own implementation. The presenters will guide attendees through misconceptions of a Community School, resources and support beyond just a checklist for kids and families, the 4 pillars of FCRCs, how funding, resources, and the overall application of how the program works. Additionally, for community partners, how to recruit and gain support, advocacy, fundraising, and the overall shift of perception to support the most vulnerable in our community will be addressed. Attendees will be lead through not just a "band-aide" approach for at-risk students and families but with a true partnership.
