Local Children's Program

 

Welcome!!
The goal of the Local Children Programs is to build a brighter future for our children with special needs and to provide them with fun learning opportunities that are usually not offered to them.  All programs are coordinated by volunteers/parents and run by caring professionals.  Classes are affordable at $5-$15/hour.  We urge all participants to be part of FCSN's supportive village by joining our membership. It's simple and easy and only $50 for a life-time membership fee.  For all FCSN non-members, there is an additional $25 per person per program per session fee.  Please contact each local program coordinator directly through email/phone for registrations/ further details.
