Nonprofit Category: P - Human Services
Exempt Status: 501(c)(3) (IRS Form 990 Filed)

Our mission is to strengthen the life skills of families, children and individuals of all ages. This is accomplished through a range of programs offered directly or in collaboration with other organizations in our community.

Furthermore, our agency goals are to: supplement the educational offerings available to preschool children; reduce familial stress through the provision of parent education and support; support and facilitate the achievement of youth; promote diversity and foster inclusion in our community; and ensure the safety and well-being of vulnerable populations.


We touch the lives of more than 2,000 individuals each year, many of whom are low-income, minority, refugee, and immigrant youth and families. Most of the adult family members we serve in our family service programs are women, and particularly women of color. The most common language spoken by our participants is Spanish, English, and Khmer. While some providers in the communities we serve offer similar services in Spanish, to our knowledge our Khmer-language groups are unique in Lynn. Providing a service in the family's or youth's preferred language is not only a practical matter, but also one that demonstrates our commitment to the community and strengthens our capacity for engagement.
