The Family Place

Nice little not-​for-​profit that helps out single mothers learn English while giving daycare to their children. This place is an inspiration to anyone paying attention.

I volunteer here three times a week with their Volunteer Coordinator Sarah Baker. She is competent and passionate about helping people. Usually she has me assist one of the teachers. Classes are usually English and career preparation for Latinos, but there are other classes too. The innovation of The Family Place is they perform simultaneous daycare while these classes are going on. While the company is chartered for any refugees and any families of any gender, because Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights has such a large Latino population, The Family Place ends up helping Latina mothers, some of whom are young single parents. I rate this nonprofit very highly, and I see the people as who work, volunteer, and learn at this location to be very sincere and highly motivated. I recommend this place to donate time, money and information to. I recommend volunteering, and interning, and even visiting. Finally, if you are in need of services, I very much recommend this place because of their effective work.
