Ministry of Children & Family Development
The Ministry of Children and Family Development provides a spectrum of services that promotes healthy children, families and communities.
MCFD has a Family Service Team providing supports and services for families and children who are experiencing challenges in their lives.
The team works collaboratively with other services within the FRC to promote positive child and family development.
The Ministry believes that they should provide the least intrusive intervention necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of our most vulnerable children, youth and their families. This is demonstrated by a variety of approaches that may include mediation and family group conferencing. A Family Group Conferencing Specialist will be available at the FRC to promote an inclusive family and community process related to the long term placement and care of vulnerable children.
The Storefront Program, which provides service to 24 full time and 10 part time students, focuses on social skills, life skills, and academic upgrading. Clientele are at-risk 15 to 17 year olds who have been faced challenges in a regular high school setting, due to a number of reasons. Students work on Grade Ten core courses and/or skills upgrading, as well as physical education and social-emotional improvement. All Storefront students are placed on Individual Educational Plans (IEPs), which outline academic and behavioral goals. Upon successfully meeting their goals at Storefront, students can transition to regular high school, senior alternative programs, or Distance or Continuing Education.
Prospective students may apply at Continuing Education, 1521 Fourth Avenue, the Community Team office, currently located at Youth Around Prince George (YAP), or at Storefront. Please contact Jon Toma at 564-7399 for further information.

The South fort George Community Association is a small group of dedicated volunteers whose mandate is to help make this community a better place to live. With the re-opening of the South Fort George Elementary school building as a family resource centre, we are finding a place for ourselves in the walls of this wonderful building. We have been given access to this building for after-hours events giving residents of our community a chance to take part in a variety of activities. We welcome new members and volunteer program leaders.
