Mission Statement
Families Forward Charlotte is a 501(c)(3) that partners with families experiencing poverty to achieve lasting economic stability. We provide educational opportunities, offer essential support, and foster long-term relationships through individualized mentoring.
About This Cause
We utilize a Mobility Mentoring® approach along with other modes of support to improve social capital, improve access to resources, and ultimately encourage economic mobility. Family Liaison Partnership Fifty families, including 100+ children, were referred by schools and community partners and matched with Family Liaisons, a volunteer mentor / coach. Families connect with their Liaisons through in-person meetings, text, email and/or phone calls. Goal Setting & Navigating Resources Family Liaisons are trained in Mobility Mentoring to assess and help parents set life goals and develop an action plan. As families demonstrate needs, Family Liaisons help to locate resources for the family often using our public database. Educational Opportunities We host monthly Educational Workshops for families covering topics such as Financial Empowerment, goal setting, parenting skills and career readiness. Essential Baskets Baskets containing toiletries, cleaning supplies, seasonal items, food items and a grocery gift card are distributed to each family three times throughout the year (fall, winter and spring). Financial Support Request Family Liaisons can request up to $1,000 in financial assistance for their partnering families based on needs to help the family break through barriers to success.
