At For My Bonus Child, Inc., we understand that strong families are the foundation of strong communities. Our Family Resource Center is designed to be a lifeline for families in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties, providing access to essential resources, financial education, job training, and personalized case management. This center will work hand-in-hand with our Early Head Start and Pathways to Home programs, but it will also be open to the broader public, ensuring that anyone in need can find support, as resources allow.
The Family Resource Center aims to empower families by providing them with the tools, education, and support they need to achieve stability and self-sufficiency. Whether you’re a parent seeking job training, a family in need of essential supplies, or someone looking for guidance on financial literacy, our center is here to help. We believe in a holistic approach that addresses the unique needs of each family, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive.
Essential Supplies: We provide families with access to essential items such as food, clothing, diapers, and hygiene products. These resources are available to anyone in the community, helping to meet immediate needs and reduce stress.
Financial Literacy Education: Our financial literacy programs offer workshops and one-on-one coaching to help families manage their finances, build savings, and plan for the future. We equip families with the knowledge and skills they need to achieve long-term financial stability.
Job Training and Employment Support: We partner with local workforce development agencies to offer job training, resume building, interview preparation, and employment placement services. Our goal is to help families secure stable, well-paying jobs that can sustain them.
Personalized Case Management: Each family’s situation is unique, and we provide personalized case management to address individual needs. Our case managers work closely with families to set and achieve goals, connect them with community resources, and provide ongoing support.
