Serving Washington County

The Family Center’s mission is to build resourceful families and healthy children to create a strong community.

For Children

Children are our most valuable resource. What a child doesn’t receive he can seldom later give.

For Youth

Increasing the active participation and partnership with young people, to better serve them.

For Families

Each family has strengths and can take a primary role in its own development.

 

 

 

 

Vermont’s Declaration of Inclusion is a grassroots effort working with community leaders to reinforce the message that Vermont is a welcoming, safe place for all. The goal is to have statewide adoption, including at the state level. Governor Scott issued a Proclamation of Inclusion in May 2021. The Family Center of Washington County adopts the Declaration of Inclusion and welcomes all community members, families, and friends, as well as their talents and skills, treating each other openly and fairly, and providing support and encouragement and belonging.

Declaration of Inclusion 

The Family Center of Washington County condemns racism and welcomes all persons, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, age, disability, or socioeconomic status, and wants everyone to feel safe and welcome in our community.As an organization, we formally condemn all discrimination in all of its forms, commit to fair and equal treatment of everyone in our community, and will strive to ensure all of our actions, policies, and operating procedures reflect this commitment.

The Family Center of Washington County has and will continue to be a place where individuals can live freely and express their opinions.

What We Do

For Children

Child development is a process that involves learning and mastering skills like sitting, walking, talking, skipping, and tying shoes.

For Youth

Positive youth development services engage young people in intentional, productive, and constructive ways, while recognizing and enhancing their strengths.

For Families

All families should have access to economic and parenting supports to ensure all children have nurturing and stable relationships with caring adults.

Take Action

Every year, Vermont saves $2,131,041 when each of Vermont’s 15 Parent Child Centers prevents:

  • One woman from entering a correctional facility;
  • One teen pregnancy.
  • One child from needing foster care placement; and
  • One mother and child from requiring public assistance.

Help children thrive

2,865 individuals served in Central Vermont from July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021
