Too often, teens impacted by a parent's incarceration carry emotions and challenges they don't always know how to express. Through our ReConnect Program, we're creating a safe virtual space where young people can connect with peers, learn healthy coping skills, understand their feelings, manage anger and big emotions, and build confidence for the future. We are asking our community partners, schools, counselors, faith leaders, and youth-serving organizations to help us identify and refer teens who could benefit from this free opportunity. Together, we can remind these young people that they are not alone, they matter, and there is hope ahead.

Join us as we celebrate the graduates of the Fostering Family Leaders (FFL) Program! Come honor the hard work, growth, and dedication of our participants. Family and friends welcome!

Fostering Family Leaders (FFL) is a parent leadership development program designed to strengthen families by increasing protective factors, communication skills, and community engagement. Through guided dialogue, education, and peer support, parents and caregivers build confidence, resilience, and the capacity to lead their families toward stability, academic success, and generational well-being.
