With 2008 upon us, the FNC is thoroughly engaged in Smart from the Start and another season of Nurturing Program expansion. Our work continues to be recognized throughout Boston and the state. And we recently completed our year long strategic planning process that engaged the Board, staff and over 20 stakeholders and community partners. View our Strategic Plan.

To work with others to build nurturing communities where children are cherished, families are supported, and healthy human development is promoted by all.

The Family Nurturing Center of Massachusetts (FNC) is a unique learning organization that has been called "small, but mighty" by many who know us. FNC is a community based non-profit that was founded in 1994 with the goals of reducing child maltreatment and abuse and promoting healthy families and communities. Learn more about our mission, background, goals, and accomplishments.
