Family Futures Downeast

Providing Quality Education

Families that become a part of Family Futures Downeast are given the opportunity to participate in a positive, supportive two generational learning environment. Over the course of the first year, parents will be enrolled part-time in specially-designed college classes held in the evenings while their children are provided with age-appropriate instruction, all at no out-of-pocket cost.

Empowering Parents and Children

Living in poverty can be passed on from one generation to the next. To stop the cycle, Family Futures Downeast believes that children should be safe and secure, receiving high-quality early education at the same time as their parents are changing economic outcomes through post-secondary education and career pathways.

Restoring Hope

When families experience poverty, they are at risk for experiencing a loss of hope. Our goal is to help Washington County families by providing a network of support to ensure that no barrier stands between a family and a better future.
