GREENSBURG, Ind. — The Indiana Youth Institute, United Fund of Decatur County, and the Decatur County Community Foundation are hosting a speaker on Wednesday, May 3 from 11:30 to 1, to talk about how to effectively engage families to improve outcomes for children.
The Youth Institute says families come in all shapes and sizes that set the foundation for a child’s future.
They also say research shows that a family is critical to academic achievement and social success, but if children lack the appropriate support system, it can put them at risk for falling behind.
Attendees will learn why family engagement is so important to a child’s future and how to strengthen, empower, and support families to stay engaged in all aspects of the child’s life.
The event is free and will be held at the Decatur County Community Schools administration building in Greensburg.
