Family Success Centers are warm and welcoming, neighborhood gathering places, that are open to everyone in the community, offering support, information, programs, services, and connections to resources.

The Weequahic Family Success Center is a community resource hub located in the heart of the Southward district of Newark, NJ. The Center is built on several principles and core values that shape the work we do and how we serve the community. The Weequahic Family Success Center is a prevention program that aims to enrich the lives of children and families by strengthening families and neighborhoods. Also, to provide integrated, locally based services, reduce isolation and promote connections. This includes community education through workshops and presentations, hands-on family activities, access to health-related, employment-related, and housing-related services as well as information, supportive services, and referrals.
