Happy Friday to you all.

Working with the incarcerated and their families and promoting family  
involvement through after school programs are both topics of interest  
to those who work with families. Take a look at these resources. .I  
think you will find them of interest.

"Focus on Families! How to Build and Support Family-Centered  
Practices in
After School" is a resource for after school providers  creating or
expanding an existing family engagement program. Program leaders, local
decision makers, funders, and others interested in promoting good family
involvement practice will also find the guide vital to their work.
