Family Resource Network

 

West Virginia's Promise

The Family Resource Network of the Panhandle, Inc. is a Promise Place. We commit to promoting the Five Promises to children. Research shows that if the Five Promises, as defined by America's Promise, are consistently fulfilled, they can significantly advance the chances of youth becoming successful adults.

1. Caring Adult
   Ongoing relationships with caring adults - parents, mentors, tutors or coaches offer youth support, care and guidance.
2. Safe Place
   Safe places with structured activities during non-school hours provide both physical and emotional safety for youth.
3. A Healthy Start
   Adequate nutrition, exercise and health care pave the way for healthy bodies, healthy minds and smart habits for adulthood.
4. An Effective Education
   All children need the intellectual development, motivation and skills that equip them for successful work and lifelong learning. These result from having quality learning environments, challenging expectations and consistent guidance and mentoring.
5. Opportunities to Help Others
   Opportunities to give back through community service enhance self-esteem, boost confidence and heighten a sense of responsibility to the community.
