Welcome to the Family Empowerment Program Home Page. Below is a short introduction into what we do. Please feel free to contact us with any information, questions or concerns.

The Family Empowerment Program is designed to help empower low income and "at risk" families in Oregon through long term support from community volunteer mentors (family friends). Families in our program are matched with these mentors who offer their friendship, emotional support, and a non-judgmental listening ear. These family friends help set achievable goals, recognize and build upon the families strengths, and connect families to programs, skill-building classes and resources.

Our program thrives with the help of caring community members like you. Please explore our pages to learn more about the program and to contact your county coordinator to find out how YOU can help!
