How we are different?
Our vision is called #Familyhood. In short, Familyhood defines schools as the center of the communities development and attempts to empower the school by empowering the school’s own organizations to improve the school and its surrounding community.
#Familyhood is driven by two motto’s:
1) FRIENDS OF SCHOOL – Every school shall have a functioning Student Government Association, Parent Teacher Association and Alumni Association.
2) MO’ BETTER FOOD – Every school shall have a garden, a farmers market and a grocery store.
The main goal of #Familyhood is to produce Alumni/ Alumnae. Familyhood’ belief is, “the more Alumni/ Alumnae schools produce, the more developed the community becomes.”
#Familyhood defines Alumni/Alumna as graduates who, in addition to joining the school’s Alumni Association, mentor the schools Student Government Association.
According to #Familyhood, schools are apart of each students life for their entire life, i.e. four years as a student and the remaining years as Alumni/Alumnae.
The “do now” strategy towards #Familyhood at a school/community is 1st Saturdays, The official monthly volunteer day at schools, every 1st Saturday of the month.

The Familyhood Handbook is written by David N. Roach, Co-founder of The Familyhood Connection Inc.
The Familyhood Handbook articulates the roles for each generation to take using the school as the center of the communities development and how and why every school should expand it’s goal of graduating each student in four years, to recruiting that student into the school’s Alumni/ Alumnae Association and re-connecting that student to the schools Student Government Association.
The Familyhood Handbook articulates why Familyhood is a 20 year plan that seeks to strengthen the cultural fabric of the community by connecting the generations utilizing the school as the center.
