Our initiatives are coordinated with local partners to avoid duplication of services <br />and create a greater community -wide impact. <br />KRC's Family Connection Centers, a community-based initiative, has the unique ability of <br />helping families improve their quality of life by building parents' and children's knowledge and <br />skills while also addressing underlying family issues. <br />Our centers are staffed by a person from the community who identifies and builds trusted <br />relationships with families of children ages 0-5 for the purpose of helping them nourish the <br />physical, social -emotional, and academic well being of their children by connecting them to <br />a peer network and meaningful community resources. <br />
