FOR founders led a group of mobilized citizens and community activists to create an umbrella organization for much needed social services now ranging from food security nutrition early childhood education support groups crime prevention and mental health services. Also included are arts programs for all ages and access to the Sto-Rox Public Library.
About the Department:
Positive Parenting McKees Rocks Family Center is designed to provide support to the families we serve. We provide service through two sites in the Sto-Rox community. Family Centers are based on the philosophy that the most effective way to ensure the healthy development and growth of small children is by supporting the families and communities in which they live. Family Centers not only represent a place where parents can come together to share support each other or learn about and benefit from their communitys resources but they also represent a community process - a new way of doing business. All segments of the community come together as partners and begin the process of identifying and achieving mutual goals and objectives.
