Ready to empower you
FRC believes these programs will empower low-income Hispanic families with the basic life skills to fully integrate and succeed within a multicultural, socioeconomic, and political society. Conversely, it will serve to decrease English illiteracy, domestic abuse and violence, and the crime rate amongst young Hispanic adults. Indirectly having a positive impact on the judiciary, penal system, and public-school system, and bridging the cultural gap by reducing existing interracial tensions.
