If you have read the book The Familyhood Handbook, written by David N. Roach, some of this Post is taken from the book.
The purpose of this Post is to define “our” role- our meaning The Familyhood Connection inc and ” your role” whoever you are.
Yes, Familyhood is for everyone and there it has a role for everyone.
Let’s begin!
Our role is to provide a platform that can facilitate the communication / information necessary to grow Familyhood in neighborhoods / communities. This platform needs to speak in a inter-generational voice because we know by definition: Familyhood is a collaboration of a schools Student Government Association, Parent Teacher Association and Alumni Association and Friends of the school.
We, The Familyhood Connection Inc see ourselves as the first Friends of the Schools.
We seek to find other local buisnesse’s, organizations to join us in helping to build Familyhood at school sites.
Why do we believe having Familyhood’s at schools is so important?
Because the main goal of Familyhood school’s are to produce Alumni. Not just graduates.
The Familyhood school creates a loose net around it, that grows everywhere through its graduates who return as Alumni, who mentor the Student Government Association.
Familyhood’s main long-term strategy of growing Familyhood at a school is to create a pipeline between the Student Government Association and its Alumni Association. This pipeline should plant in the mind of the student, in the near future, they will become Alumni and continue the Alumni tradition of mentoring the Student Government Association.
With the Alumni seed planted in the mind of the student, the student realizes their relationship is now beyond the four – years, as a student, but rather a lifetime relationship with their school, as an Alumni.
