Family & Children's Service is one of the oldest nonprofit organizations in the Twin Cities. For more than 130 years, we have given help and hope to our community's most vulnerable children and families. Over 600 volunteers help support our mission of building strong families, vital communities and capable children. We provide mental health counseling and a unique combination of school success, violence prevention and community building services that give people the tools to help themselves. We believe every family matters. Learn More>>
