FCE Needs Your Support Today!
Every month, staff are excited to share with you the impactful work being done by the Family and Consumer Education Program of CCEDC. At the heart of our mission is the commitment to enhance the well-being of families through strength-based initiatives, education, and advocacy for evidence-based practices. We firmly believe that by empowering families, we contribute to the foundation of a healthier and more prosperous society within Dutchess County and beyond.
However, as many of you may know, grant funding sources are not always guaranteed to be renewed, and securing stable funding is an ongoing challenge. While we continue to diligently search for new funding opportunities, we recognize the vital role that donations and sponsorships play in sustaining and expanding our programing. We are in need of steady funding into the Fall in order to continue our RAPP program. The situation is critical in maintaining and growing our efforts. Therefore, we call upon our dedicated supporters, like you, to help us with your generous contributions.
One of our primary focuses is providing support for relative caregivers who play a crucial role in nurturing children within their extended families; "kinship families". Through monthly meetings and specialized parenting workshops, the Relatives As Parents Program (RAPP) staff offer guidance on positive discipline and effective caregiving techniques. These programs create a nurturing environment that allows children to flourish and thrive within their family units. We have provided this service through our RAPP program to Dutchess County families for over 15 years.
Our commitment to family education extends to various workshops covering crucial topics such as parenting/communication, financial literacy, and wellness. We understand the importance of equipping families with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of modern life successfully. By providing relevant and engaging workshops, we empower families to make informed decisions that positively impact their lives.
