Family Resource Centers - Nevada County Superintendent of Schools

Family Resource Centers (FRCs) offer multiple services to families. Nevada County Superintendent of Schools has sponsored three FRCs since 2010. We are located in Grass Valley, Penn Valley, and San Juan Ridge. Together, the three FRCs are part of the FRC Network serving Western Nevada County called PARTNERS Resources Together, a Network of Education, Recreation, and Support.

Although the FRCs are located on school campuses, they are intended to meet the needs of all families in the region, not just those whose children attend school at that location. Each of the Family Resource Centers offers the following core services:

Parenting Classes
Lending Libraries with parenting and employment resources
Child Development Information and parenting support
Playgroups
Clothes Closet
Computer Lab including printers and fax
Student Tutoring in Grass Valley
Food Pantry in San Juan Ridge
Diapers in Penn Valley and San Juan Ridge
CalWORKS Housing Support Program Case Management
Spanish speaking staff is available at the Grass Valley Charter
Information and referrals to children and parents

We help parents find support and services they need. We make referrals and can direct parents and help navigate community services. Services are free of charge and families are encouraged to drop in during operating hours (Due to COVID 19 Health Department Precautions please call for assistance and schedule an appointment).

Our FRCs are a comfortable, inviting space for parents and children, including changing tables, toys, rocking chairs, couches, and the like. We have support available for Spanish Speakers and have a Parenting Education Specialist who offers classes and support.

If your family is in need of support please give us a call. Or if you know of a parent who has questions about what is available in our community, please refer them to one of the PARTNERS Family Resource Centers.
