About Family Frameworks
Our Mission
Building character, intrinsic value, understanding, and facilitating crucial dialogues within the supportive environment of the local school classroom have demonstrated effective outcomes. Our strategic objective is to strengthen our partnerships with local schools and leverage community philanthropy to foster continued positive development in future generations.
WHAT WE DO
Our theme, “Choose to Lead” cultivates honorable leadership qualities, drawing upon attributes that inspire and influence teens both currently and in their future endeavors. Recognizing the critical role of relationship development in the youth of our communities, our "Decisions Today, Success Tomorrow" program strategically emphasizes the Pathway to Success framework, which advocates for:
- High school graduation.
- Post-secondary education attainment.
- Securing meaningful employment/career development.
- Subsequently, pursuing long-term relationships conducive to potential family building.
The Pathway to Success model per the Dibble Institute shows a success rate of 97% of individuals that follow it in order; It’s guaranteed that these individuals do not end up in poverty. These dynamics decrease teen pregnancy rates and often end the poverty cycle in families where poverty has infiltrated for generations.
We aim to empower teens in our community with the ability to make healthy decisions involving relationships, future goals,
problem-solving, and navigating negative influences through our "Decisions Today, Success Tomorrow" program.
THE PATHWAY TO SUCCESS
There have been substantial reductions in teen pregnancy and notable advancements in high school graduation rates and post-secondary bachelor degree attainment since the year our programs entered local high school classrooms. See below for a more comprehensive look at improvements in our community
within just the last 5 years.
