Urban Family Council exists to build healthy families by providing education about, and advocating for, life, marriage and family.
A Brand New Website!
We have been working very hard to create the perfect home on the World Wide Web for Urban Family Council. After months of renovations, we have created the new and improved UFC website.
Please join us online at www.urbanfamilycouncil.org to catch up on the latest programs and events, read testimonials from students, view pictures, and find out ways to get involved. Let us know what you think by submitting comments on our Contact Us page. Thank you for your support through this period of transition and growth. We hope you will visit us frequently!
UFC Father's Day Special
"A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society." -- Billy Graham, Christian Evangelist
Urban Family Council has been reaching out to fathers for seven years through our Building Healthy Families programs including Leading By Example, Parent Enrichment Program, and Helping ex-Offenders Prepare Effectively. We hope all fathers, grandfathers, and father figures had an enjoyable and "Happy" Father's Day. With the faithful support of donors and volunteers, we impact the lives of many fathers, future fathers, and their families, producing positive role models for our communities every day.
Here at UFC we have several staff members who are proud fathers and grandfathers. Thank you for your dedication and for living our mission to build healthy families by providing education about, and advocating for, life, marriage, and family.
