Through the Families First peer education program, members learn to be strong family members. In the process, they improve families' ability to nurture socially, emotionally, mentally and physically strong, healthy individuals. These are the types of leaders America needs to address the challenges it faces today and tomorrow. Stronger families mean stronger communities for all of us.
