Become A Certified Family Leader

The Family Empowerment INITIATIVE’S CERTIFIED family leader training

Become a force for change in your community! The Family Empowerment Initiative is hosting a Certified Family Leader Training, April 19th & 20th, 2013 at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center. This training is designed to create a team of Certified Family Leaders who make a difference in children’s lives in the community and at home. The Family Leader Training will focus on effectively teaching parenting skills by using the evidence-based Active Parenting curriculum (www.activeparenting.com). Upon certification, trained Family Leaders will be able to hold workshops in the community so they can help families strengthen their relationships.

If you have the willingness to learn the tools to support family leadership and share them with others by volunteering to facilitate two workshops in twenty-four months, contact Lisa deSimon at (410) 546-5400 ext. 13 or at LDESIMON@WICOMICOCOUNTY.ORG. Applications must be postmarked by March 25, 2013.

This project is funded through the Wicomico Partnership for Families and Children, the Local Management Board for Wicomico County, with funding from the Governor’s Office for Children.

Government funding to become a "Certified Family Leader"
Really? Wow. I am SO old.

Community leader, huh? That sounds familiar.

I don't think this passes muster. I would rather be just Dad. It's more important, is free, requires no license nor lessons, and has so many rewards it's hard to pass up!

Signed,
Dad

It's pitiful. Now, single mom's aren't enough? I thought all these single mom's were doing God's work and didn't need no man. And will they be teaching the so-called men that going to prison upsets the family dynamic? Who comes up with this stuff? More bureaucracy. More clerks. More "licensing". More government. "Community leader?" Will THAT get you another $200 in welfare money, since you are now "certified"? Howard University will open up an entire new degree program to "certify" people to be moms and dads. About a year too late. An on-line course will be offered in prisons.
