Colorado Springs Family Strengthening Associate
 
 
 
Family Connections serves a spectrum of family needs from those facing homelessness, to those needing to strengthen their family’s resilience and stability, to those who want to engage in parenting education. Our Family Strengthening model of service provides community outreach and comprehensive, coordinated case management to vulnerable families in need of a variety of supports provided by Family Life Coaches and Early Childhood Specialists. In addition to case management, our services include safety net essentials for babies and young children, emergency services, early childhood development, and family enrichment activities. We are a strong collaborative partner currently involved in supporting vulnerable families during the Covid-19 crisis. Services are offered in a positive and engaging environment and the VISTA receives support from the program director and team members. Some flexibility around the starting date.
