Lincoln Families
With a focus on school achievement, economic mobility, and community wellness, Lincoln Families provides a continuum of preventative, responsive, and intensive support services to improve outcomes for children and families. We are committed to creating systemic change to strengthen our work in schools and communities, to remove barriers to care, and to advance racial justice and equity. Founded in 1883, Lincoln Families disrupts cycles of poverty and trauma, empowering children and families to build strong futures in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Our approach is simple: we provide children with support and services as early as possible and make programs available to them during their school years through high school graduation. These services go hand in hand with programming that engages families and communities to create sustaining impacts.
Purpose
Health, economic, and educational disparities disproportionately hurt communities of color and young people. Lincoln Families provides mental health services in schools and the community to help youth and families coping with trauma to succeed. We connect families to resources at our Family Resource Center so they can build economic mobility and disrupt generational poverty. Lincoln also delivers educational engagement and literacy programs to close the opportunity gap for youth and level the educational playing field.
