Families First, Community Partner on a Mission

We recently met with Israel (Izzy) Rivera, Local Program Officer for Families First Parenting Programs, to discuss the organization’s mission. Based in Holyoke and serving Holyoke, Chicopee, and Springfield, Families First seeks to bring the parents of young children together in their communities so that they can strengthen their parenting knowledge, skills, and leave its programs with strong systems of support.
