What is the Family Centered Coaching Professional Learning Community?

Hosted by the Flint & Genesee Literacy Network (FGLN), the Family Centered Coaching (FCC) Professional Learning Community (PLC) is a virtual cohort of professionals who support each other in learning and practicing the Family Centered Coaching approach.

FCC is a holistic, integrated, fluid, and participant led approach that consists of tools, tips, and strategies for working with families. FCC recognizes that each individual is part of a family or larger system with their own unique interests, strengths, and goals.

FCC is a client centered coaching framework built on a foundation of evidence-based practices that enables practitioners to collaborate with their clients as equal partners as they strive to achieve goals and improve the lives of their families.

As part of this community, members are invited to participate in bi-monthly coaches' sessions and receive bi-monthly newsletters. Additional benefits include relevant professional development, enhanced knowledge of the FCC framework, access to a supportive network of fellow coaches and professionals, and a space to share your own experience, expertise, and resources.

While no registration is needed for the Fall Mixer, you can register to become a FCC PLC member here. For more information on the FCC PLC or the Fall Mixer, please contact FGLN by phone at (810) 232-2526 or by email at flintandgeneseeliteracy@gmail.com.

Fall Fundraiser Highlights

Genesee County Literacy Coalition (GCLC) would like to thank everyone who donated, volunteered, and participated in our 3rd annual Luigi’s Fundraiser. Through donations, ticket sales, and raffles, we raised almost $2,000. All funds will be used to ensure that program participants and future learners continue to receive the services and technology they need to thrive.

GCLC was established in 1989 and continues to survive on donations and small community grants. Donations enable GCLC to maintain operations, offer training and support to local learning centers, provide technology bundles through the Adult Learning Centers Virtual Learning Project, and continue to sponsor outstanding students through the Danielle Brown Scholarship.

Donations can still be made by PayPal, cash, or check. To learn more, visit our Support page. Stay tuned for information on upcoming fundraisers, free events, resources, and more!

GCLC was established in 1989 to provide volunteer training for non-profit organizations and

individuals dedicated to improving literacy for adult learners and youth living in Flint and Genesee County. Since the Coalition’s beginning, it has evolved into a network of Adult Learning Centers providing a variety of literacy services and supports such Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language (ESL), Workforce Readiness, GED Testing and Preparation, services for At Risk Youth, and services for K-12 youth. GCLC is a volunteer organization that is sustained by membership fees, fundraising, grants, and donations.

In honor of the late Danielle Brown (former GCLC Chair) a yearly Danielle Brown Scholarship recipient receives a scholarship of up to $1,000 towards their education upon completing High School or obtaining their GED. GCLC’s Adult Learning Centers Virtual Learning Project was launched in 2020 during the COVID-19 shut down to address the immediate need for technology. The Virtual Learning project provides adult learners with technology and tools to resolve learning barriers.
