Provides cultural orientation, life skills, ESL and other educational programs. Operates after-school and in-school programs for at risk children, mediation, interpretation counseling and crisis intervention. These services aim to promote family stability and self-sufficiency and are targeted to low-income families in Central Fairfax County.
