Volunteer Center of the Lehigh Valley

Our vision: Creating a compassionate community where all children and families have the opportunity to achieve academic and personal success.

Our mission: Family Connection is a catalyst for change within families, schools, and the community. Through a team approach that includes families, the Easton Area School District, and community organizations, we improve academic performance, the quality of life, and the strength of our community.

Description:
Family Connection is a family center based within the Easton Area School District. At our three family center sites, located at Cheston, Paxinosa, and Palmer Elementary Schools, we provide support and assistance to families as they build on their strengths, maximize their parenting skills, enhance their relationships with teachers and other school staff, and get connected to resources in the community. Our Parent-Child Home Program is a home-based school readiness program for 2-3 year old children and their parents. We also coordinate the 21st Century Community Learning Center at Cheston Elementary School.
