We provide isolated parents with community through our innovative relational support programs. 

Any parent who feels isolated and wants to grow their community is invited to be a part of our program.Whether you’re working toward personal goals or looking to connect with a supportive community, we invite you to participate in one or both of our programs – Circle of Support and Mighty Village.

In the Circle of Support, parents are matched with a team of volunteers who will connect with them at least once a week for six months! During this time, volunteers encourage and support parents as they develop lasting friendships, expand their social networks, and meet self-identified goals. Participation is dependent on both volunteer and client location and availability. 

Parenting is hard work. It’s even more difficult when you feel alone, encounter obstacles, and lack a strong support system. At Safe Families NYC, we believe that connecting parents with vetted volunteers will help them safely establish a community that offers support, hope, and belonging.  By investing in the lives of parents, we are also investing in their children, sowing the seeds of transformational, generational changes.

We provide an innovative, evidence-based approach that supports parents by connecting them to a caring network of relationships and resources before child welfare involvement becomes necessary. We believe that when parents are supported, children can thrive.
