Families & Communities Rising, formerly Chapel Hill Training Outreach Project, is a Durham, North Carolina based nonprofit organization with locations in Durham, Orange and Chatham Counties of NC and programs that reach nationwide. FCR is a national provider of training and technical assistance services, audiovisual and print materials, and offers direct services to children, families and communities.

The mission of the Family Life Development Center is to improve professional and public efforts to understand and act upon risk and protective factors in the lives of children, youth, families, and communities that affect family strengths, child well-being, and youth development. The FLDC accomplishes its mission through research, training, outreach, education, and program development and implementation.

Too many people have to risk their job to care for a loved one, or put a family member at risk to keep a job. We’re made to feel that this is a personal problem, but it’s political – family values too often end at the workplace door. We need new workplace standards to meet the needs of real families today.
The result will be better individual and public health, and greater financial security for families, businesses and the nation.
Our coalitions represent a diverse, nonpartisan group of more than 1,000 grassroots organizations, ranging from restaurant owners to restaurant workers, faith leaders to public health professionals, think tanks to activists for children, seniors and those with disabilities. Family Values @ Work coalitions are active in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Washington, Washington, D.C., and Wisconsin.
Formed in 2003, Family Values @ Work coalitions are winning. We’ve helped get paid sick days victories in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Milwaukee, Seattle, and Portland as well as the state of Connecticut, family leave insurance laws in New Jersey and California, and paid parental leave in Washington state. These local and state wins are improving the lives of tens of thousands of working families and building national momentum for policies that value families at work.
