One Family Services Associate is assigned between 15-30 family cases.

Family Services Associates (FSA) are required to attain a Family Services Credential.

Family Services Associates are typically former Head Start parents. They usually reside in the communities in which the Program centers are located.

Community resource agencies collaborate with the Program to provide much-needed support for children and families. Each family receives a community Resource Guide to assist them in finding support.

Family Services Associates set appointments for medical and dental screenings and schedule follow-up based on screening results within 90 days of enrollment.

Sites hold spring Round Up registration and recruitment for eligible children and families. Each site has a designated number of cases to achieve and all efforts must be made to find income- eligible families.

Student File records are maintained on each child and family. Comprehensive service data is collected and utilized to individualize services according to need.

Family Services Associates teach parent education (Parent Learning Network - PLN) classes in the evening and during the day.

Craft classes help parents network, build self-esteem, and learn a new skill that could add income to their family budget.
