Parents determine the topics for their meetings. Each meeting begins with a family dinner. Following dinner the children attend the Children's Group directed by a Volunteer Families Together Youth Coordinator, where they meet new friends, participate in activities, and have the opportunity to share with other children. Volunteers from local universities make this evening especially enjoyable for the children. Together sponsors a Parent to Parent program that is affiliated with Washington State Parent to Parent.
Families Together links Helping Parents to parents with similar concerns for support and friendship.
