What We Do
At 3FN, we believe families should never have to navigate life’s challenges alone. We are a one-stop shop of faith-powered support, offering everything from education and advocacy to tangible resources and youth empowerment programs. Our goal is to walk alongside caregivers, youth, and families to help them thrive.
Advocacy
Cultural Broker Program
Cultural Brokers bridge the gap between Black families and the Department of Child and Family Services. They eliminate cultural misunderstandings that lead to racial disparity in the child welfare system and advocate for families’ voices to be heard.

Family Support & Education
