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 access to free childcare during class time, a quiet space to do homework in a child-friendly computer lab, a network of other student parents, and support through resource referrals. The FRC also offers a supervised children's activity room.

All interested parties should be directed to an FRC program coordinator for information on space availability.
