For 100 years Family Services of Greater Waterbury has brought strength and hope to tens of thousands of children and families who have faced life's struggles and have overcome them. Here are some examples of the work that we do every day:
- Terry and Pat were near divorce when they came to us for counseling. Now their marriage and their children are thriving.
- Juan was frustrated that he could not find work. He came to our Jobs First Employment Services program. He participated in training opportunities and can now provide for his family.
Family Services helps to change lives - one family at a time. We are helping to rebuild families, the societal foundation of the communities we serve. And we are very good at it, too! 90% of our counseling clients, when asked, have told us that their lives have been improved because of our work with them.
In 2008, the Family Services of Greater Waterbury board, staff and various community stakeholders came together to develop a comprehensive three-year strategic plan with the overarching goal to provide meaningful programs and services that impact the communities we serve. When fully implemented, this plan will build the agency's awareness in the community, strengthen financial stability to the organization, enhance its infrastructure and open the agency to new programs.
Our Centennial Celebration will launch the implementation of our strategic plan. We envision expanding our scope of services and our facilities. The Centennial Celebration will invite the community to join Family Services of Greater Waterbury in commemorating the past while helping to build the future.
