The Family Center is a Finalist for the 2011 Social Innovation Forum!

The Family Center is thrilled to announce that we have been selected one of 26 Finalists for the 2011 Social Innovation Forum! All 26 Finalists were selected because they "represent Greater Boston's most promising approaches to address some of our toughest social issues -- in the areas of early childhood development, education and employment opportunities for youth, financial capability, healthy aging, and grade school academic success."The Family Center is a Finalist for the Early Childhood Development track. We are deeply honored to have made it this far in the process, and we are hard at work preparing for our Finalist presentation.
