Our work to build an Early Learning City involves the whole community.

Everyone from parents and grandparents to businesses and public play spaces, every adult in our community has a role to play in making sure all of our children get the best chance they can to be ready for kindergarten.

That’s why Studer Community Institute is so proud to announce our partnership with Pathways For Change to bring our Parent Outreach Program to the Family Resource Center.

Connie Bookman, Dr. Cheryl Perry and the team at Pathways For Change have been making a difference providing education, prevention, intervention and aftercare to combat the detrimental impacts of substances and destructive lifestyles. The Family Center — funded by grants from The Dugas Family Foundation, the Pensacola Bay Area Impact 100, Gulf Breeze United Methodist Church, Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation and the Northeast Pensacola Sertoma — is "the Place Where Lives Are Changed.”

By Sept. 1, SCI will be on site at the Family Center, bringing our parent outreach efforts to another segment of the community. We know great things will come from this partnership, and we can’t wait to get started. 

What kind of impact has SCI’s programs had on the parents we’ve reached?
