The Family Learning Center's mission is to encourage successful lifelong learning and economic self-sufficiency for families of diverse cultures and limited incomes, in a learning environment where families feel nurtured, respected, and empowered.

The Center's constituents are primarily residents of assisted-housing communities in the Boulder area (e.g. San Juan Del Centro, where our Center is located). For these residents, the Center endeavors to increase employment opportunities, facilitate access to enhanced health and wellness, provide quality daycare and preschool programs, improve the educational performance of children of all ages, promote economic self-reliance and self-sufficiency, enhance parenting skills, and break the bondage of prolonged cycles of poverty for individuals trapped for generations in public and assisted housing.

Family Learning Center Staff do all of this in one central location.

Current programs include: Early Childhood (Preschool and daycare), School age (After-School, Summer, Back-to-School Supply Drive), Adult Literacy (ESL, GED, Computer, Family Management classes), and Community Outreach (Collaborative Partnerships, Indirect Program Service Delivery, Community Meeting Place, Crises Referral Services, Clothing and Food Bank).
