NFSN is entering an exciting new chapter. As we celebrate 15 years of advancing the Family Resource Center movement and complete our strategic planning process, we are refreshing our website to better reflect our future direction. Thank you for your patience as we prepare to launch our new site soon.
Team

NFSN is supported by a small full-time staff team that coordinates the organization’s national backbone functions, including strategy, operations, membership, training, and partnerships. This work is strengthened by our Board of Directors and committees, as well as parent leaders, trainers, consultants, contractors, and partners, who help ensure NFSN’s efforts remain grounded, practical, and responsive.
