Overview

Mission

The mission of parents and children together is: working together with Hawaii's children, individuals, and families to create safe and promising futures.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community building and economic developmentpact's family and economic opportunity center (feoc) supports the well-being of children and families through individualized services, community development and poverty prevention programs. Family centers provide an array of parenting programs, family skill building, child abuse and neglect prevention, family economic stability, and community development services within the kuhio park terrace/kuhio homes and kaneohe communities. Specifically, the kuhio park terrace family center promotes family strengthening and english language skills, builds employment skills and helps families address socio-economic barriers to health and well-being. The feoc facilitates community action to engage public housing residents and tackle community-wide solutions. Feoc neighborhood place of kalihi helps parents with parenting issues and family strengthening. The feoc kaneohe community family center offers substance abuse prevention programs for youth and the kaneohe community. The feoc partners with department of education (doe) schools and the university of Hawaii to improve relationships between families, communities, and neighborhood schools to improve educational outcomes for children with special focus on families arriving from the outer pacific islands, (e.g. Chuuk and the marshall islands). The centers also assist new migrants to Hawaii as they orient to the full gamut of housing, job, english language acquisition, finances, education, and health access in Hawaii. The tenacious rooted youth (try) program is an out-of-school development program for school-aged youth ages 5-18 who live in and around Hawaii's largest public housing complex, kuhio park terrace and kuhio homes, and in puuwai momi, a low-income housing project in halawa. Its afterschool programs promote the development of healthy youth, families, and community by providing an abundance of activities and experiences including educational support, sports and recreation, community service, skill building, youth leadership, and emotional and family support services.
