Mission

The mission of the Whatcom Family & Community Network is:

 “to build the capacity of our community to support children, youth and families to develop the skills and opportunities they need to lead healthy productive lives.”

Meeting Our Mission

“We meet our mission by helping others meet theirs.”

The Whatcom Family & Community Network does not usually provide services directly to families, but functions as a catalyst and facilitator to assure abundant resources, both formal and informal, are available for families. 

WFCN meets its mission through:

• Support to organizing efforts at the grassroots level.
• Support to strategic county-wide partnerships and initiatives.
• Convening residents around critical family issues.
• Assistance in the development of funding and resources to local efforts.
• Promotion of youth and adult service, leadership, and recognition.
• Broadening the diversity of civic engagement in local action.
• Promotion of asset-based and family support practices.
• Piloting and testing promising practices in family support.
  Training and education to support local leadership.
