United Against Poverty (UP) Center
The purpose of Families Matter: St. Lucie Public Schools Parenting Guide is to give parents and families information about the resources found within our local community. The resources shared could be in the form of people connected to St. Lucie Public Schools like School Counselors, District Support Personnel or Educators on your child’s campus, or the resources could be found on our SLPS website, and it could be in the form of local community agencies that help your child achieve success. You play a pivotal role in the life of your child/children, and as always, our aim is to support you.
The UP Center’s mission is to serve families and individuals by providing crisis care, case management, transformative education, food and household subsidy, employment training and placement, personal empowerment training and active referrals to other collaborative social service providers. Our work is shaped by the understanding that, we can create lasting change to overcome hardship. Our approach is centered on helping people help themselves; offering hope and a hand UP rather than a hand out.
