Families and Schools Together (FAST)

A multifamily group program for families with children, ages 4-9, designed to empower parents to act as their children’s primary agents and to build helpful parent-to-parent groups with the help of schools. The overall goal of the program is to intervene early to help at-risk youth succeed in the community, at home, and in school, and thus avoid problems such as adolescent delinquency, violence, addiction, and dropping out of school
