A Community for Student Parents

The Dr. Betty Shabazz Family Resource Center (FRC) recognizes the unique needs of students who are parenting while in school. The FRC provides CCSF student parents support through resource referrals, access to free childcare while in class, a quiet space to do homework, a child-friendly computer lab, and lots of opportunities to network with other parenting students at CCSF.

Are you a student and a parent? We want to hear from you!
