Our Programs

"Our programs provide a place for participants to belong, to voice their concerns and share hopes and dreams. It is a place where they can feel safe and connected when they have no or limited English language skills and have cultural barriers to overcome; they can get information and resources, learn new knowledge and skills, and share their experiences and challenges with others who are supportive and will seek solutions together.” — MFRS Staff, Parent-Child Program Coordinator

Youth Programs
