Family Leadership Programs

The Family Leadership Program is designed to provide education, leadership training and mentoring for families with children and adults with disabilities living in the community. One goal of these activities is to provide information on best practices and opportunities to support individuals and families to fully participate in all aspects of community life. Family leadership training and mentoring is developed and provided by family members who have a child or adult family member with a disability. One vehicle for family leadership development is the sponsorship of a Family Leadership Series, but other opportunities and activities are available in response to local needs.

Information about the Family Leadership Series, including dates and registration information, can be found on the MFOFC website at www.mfofc.org/updates/events.
