THE
MODEL
 Community Family Club is a
small group model that offers quality coeducational youth development
programs for parents and children. Utilizing Camp Fire USA curriculum,
the concept involves the entire family in Camp Fire USA’s small group,
asset-building activities and experiences.
The model is designed to increase opportunities for parents and other
caring community adults to volunteer in activities that allow them to
interact positively with children and teens. It also asset-based with
well-defined, measurable outcomes for both youth and adult volunteers,
and will create a strong partnership with corporations, schools,
churches, child care settings and other community organizations to
advance the needs of children, youth and families across the country.
THE
PROGRAM
The program is designed for
the whole family, regardless of the make-up of that family. The goal is
to include at least one adult family member or a supporting adult from
the community with every child who attends. Siblings of all ages,
infants through teens, are included. Developmental outcomes are
identified for every age level, including the adults.
The Community Family Club offers parents an unique opportunity to find a
community support group for raising their children and provides for
positive family interaction, built around experiences and activities
that are structured, educational and fun.
MEETING
SITES
Community Family Clubs are flexible and designed to be delivered in four
primary venues: schools, faith-based communities, corporations and child
care settings. These community partners work with Camp Fire USA to set
specific goals and measurable objectives, provide sites and services and
volunteers as needed.
