The Margaret Fuller
    Neighborhood House
            . . . Community Building Community

Collaboration with Cambridge Center for Families

Our purpose in coming together is to develop and implement family support programming and services that enrich the available community resources at the Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House and help the Center for Families to reach more families in the City by sharing resources and building on our different strengths.

The Center for Families is a part of the City of Cambridge, Department of Human Service Programs. The program provides activities and services to support Cambridge families with young children 0-6 years old. The Center is based on the idea that programs for families should be: accessible, universal, strengths-based, holistic, preventive, and culturally competent. All Center for Families services are free and open to all Cambridge families.

Our collaborative program at Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House includes:
• information and referral resources,
• one-on-one support for parents,
• play activities for parents and children of different ages,
• parenting education workshops and support groups, and
• community-building activities

We see this as an extremely important collaboration as the MFNH and the Center for Families are reaching many new families of Area IV. Our collaborative program offers parenting skills and group support for parents doing the hardest work there is – raising children.

If you would like to participate or you know a parent or family that might benefit from joining a parent/child activity group or a parent group please contact:

An updated schedule of activities will be available soon.
