Grand Family Coalition Information

Grand Family Coalition is a network of Grandparents and other kin raising kin. Our mission is to promote the unity of grandfamilies by creating a place where grandfamilies and services connect. Through our own experiences we know that resources and services are not always made accessible and often times grandfamilies are not aware of the services that are offered, isolating these families from each other and the resources they need. Our purpose is to provide programs and social activities that encourage an inner community of grandfamilies. We promote positive thinking and emotional well being while bringing awareness to our community concerning the needs of grandfamilies. We hope to inspire the children to be involved as well as giving the grandfamilies a chance to acquaint themselves with others in their situation. We accomplish this by organizing gatherings which allow them to be involved as they feel comfortable. We support all grandfamilies, whether or not they are certified kinship providers or involved with CPS.
