Child Check

Child Check is a universal and free screening program for social, emotional and behavioral development kids 18 months to kindergarten. The program also provides parenting support and resource referrals to Clallam County parents with a focus on helping parents learn more about the development of their children and to encourage the adoption of effective parenting practices.

Financial Literacy

We offer Survival Budgeting, a flexible seven-week financial education course. The class assists families with little to no banking experience who are often the target of predatory lenders. The curriculum focuses on providing skills and tools to help families bank and save money, understand borrowing basics and create a basic budget.

Community Events

We organize two community events in Port Angeles: Kids Fest in the spring and a Back to School Fair in August.
