Every child needs a loving family.
My Extended Family focuses its energies on making large and lasting impacts on children from single-parent homes through its community-building services and advocacy work.
Guide
Our mentors direct children through difficult situations, providing advice, advocacy, and referrals as needed for camp, school, etc.
Connect
Our weekly extracurricular programs, trips, and events provide much-needed peer connection, building children up through social interactions.
Support
In select cases, we supply home support, targeting areas that would make a difference in a child’s health and safety.
Empower
Life skills training for children and classes for parents enable individual children and their families to move forward in life stronger than before.
Serve
Our team connects families with human resources such as tutors, case managers, and others, to relieve stress and other burdens.
When a parent is missing, we are there.
To raise children today who are healthy and stable, partnering with our extended family can make all the difference.
About Us
Single parents working to cover both roles can find themselves spread thin when it comes to critical resources, like time, attention, and money. My Extended Family addresses needs experienced by children from single-parent homes, helping fill in the gaps with comprehensive and preventative support in a safe, caring environment. The programs My Extended Family runs include homework help, school advocacy, big brother/sister mentorship, and more. Our main focus is on providing a warm, wholesome space where children can connect and thrive.
My Extended Family is led by a core group of passionate professionals who understand the special needs of the families we serve. They, in turn, oversee a highly motivated team of counselors, mentors, and volunteers that make our youth feel like they’ve come home. Read More.
