In today’s world, the struggle to raise a successful family is more difficult than ever. The old issues of education, nutrition, and teaching moral values remain critical, but today’s parents face challenges undreamed of by our parents and grandparents. Children today are too often assailed by negative images from the mass media, besieged by gangs, poverty, and crime, and threatened by domestic violence and drug abuse.


To respond to the voice of families, and connect them to the services and resources they desire to lead lives filled with opportunity and dignity.

 
The purpose of each Family Success Center is to strengthen families and neighborhoods by developing networks of comprehensive services and resources that promote child and family well-being.

New Jersey is among four leading states (along with Maryland, Georgia and California) across the nation that have made statewide investments in neighborhood centers dedicated to strengthening families. The Family Success Centers initiative began in 2007, and 11 Family Success Centers are now operating in Newark, the most of any city in New Jersey.
