Connecting parents to build a loving community of families of color

Parent Groups

Peer-led parent support groups for families of color. Connect with other families through an eight to ten week cohort for newborns, waddlers, and affinity groups.

Family Programs

Engage in dialogue and cultural arts at our events for families of color. Join us and co-create affirming, joyful, and healing spaces for Black and Brown children and families.

Systems Change Work

We offer Racial Equity Workshops and Advocacy & Mobilization on policy issues affecting families, such as reproductive justice, health, and education equity.

FOCS is led by parents of color

We value lived-experience and women of color leadership
