Applications are open for the Fostering Family Leaders Program! Fostering Family Leaders builds on your current strengths and takes you to a new level of leadership in your home, school and community.

During 10 sessions, participants will have opportunities to connect with other parents, take part in engaging group activities, develop a vision for themselves and their families, and much more!

Sessions begin in October. Watch the video below and visit the Fostering Family Leaders page on the Douglas County School System district website to learn more and apply.

Communities In Schools of Douglas County and the Douglas County School System have partnered with United Way of Greater Atlanta to offer this unique parent leadership academy program.
