Family Resource Centers

By design, the network of family resource centers developed under the Family Resource
Center (FRC) Initiative are owned and operated by the Commission to facilitate service
expansion and systems coordination/integration in order to more seamlessly link the
community to services. First 5 Madera County FRCs are mulit-dimensional in approach,
promoting the idea of serving the whole child through coordinated services that are easily
identifiable, accessible and seamlessly linked to school readiness sites, health clinics,
preschools and other locations highly frequented by parents. In short, the FRCs provide a
friendly environment, co-location opportunities to facilitate “one-stop shopping” and service
referrals as appropriate. Further, the FRCs provides a training center for the community at
large.
