Building Alliances

AFC works to build alliances of community and faith-based leaders and organizations to mobilize resources and provide education for family and community renewal. By coalescing in common cause beyond typical religious and racial boundaries, synergy is created that enables all Alliance partners to be more effective in addressing family and community needs.

Leadership Training

AFC sponsor educational conferences and symposia addressing root causes of marriage and family breakdown. Through its American Leadership Conferences, AFC has reached a broad and diverse cross-section of leaders. These conferences provide vision and promote consensus building, highlight best practices and model public policies, and facilitate networking and communication. In the last two years alone, AFC has sponsored more than 130 national conferences, reaching over 25,000 leaders.

Marriage & Family Education

AFC works with strategic partners in promoting and delivering marriage and family education and training. Through such training programs, AFC and its partner organizations provide valuable training skills needed for strong marriages and stable and loving families. AFC and its field network are certified by the Franklin Covey home and Family Division to facilitate marriage and family skills training in the "7 Habits of Highly Effective Families" and by the Free Teens Leadership Program, including the "RQ: Relationship Intelligence" curriculum.

National Parents' Day

In 1994, Congress established Parents' Day, (the fourth Sunday of each July) as a national day of commemoration recognizing the crucial role of parents in raising of children. AFC, through its National Parents Day Council, plays a major role in promoting Parents Day in each state. Parents'Day activities include honoring parental role models as "Parents of the Year," selected on the community, state and national levels.
