Families And Schools Together (FAST™) is an internationally award-winning, after-school program designed to address three problems: alcohol and drug abuse, violence and delinquency, and school drop outs. Its strategy is to reduce causal factors by starting with young children using a family-based model. This family strengthening program builds protective factors in families and in children and empowers parents to be the primary prevention agents for their own children. Although originally developed for at-risk youth and their families, because of its powerful ability to prevent problems from developing, FAST™ is now offered as a universal model of prevention for all elementary school children.
The Family Center is a private, nonprofit, community service organization dedicated to helping individuals and families enhance their own skills, recognize their potential, and reach their own goals. For over a century, The Family Center has helped to strengthen and empower families because we believe that strong, healthy families create strong communities.
