Family Advocate 

Family Resource Agency adopts a comprehensive approach to support families, children, and adults, enhancing their quality of life and fostering self-sufficiency. A Family Advocate is a family's initial contact at the Family Resource Agency. Following a Head Start program application, the family's first interaction is with a Family Advocate. Once eligibility is confirmed and the child is enrolled, the Family Advocate facilitates connections between educational services for children and community services for the entire family. They track attendance, regularly engage with families to identify family needs, and inform parents about assessments for enrolled children. The ultimate goal of the Family Advocate is to empower parents to advocate for their child and then for themselves, offering services that promote self-sufficiency.
