Programs
Wayne County Family and Children First Council exists to promote coordination and collaboration among local government, not for profit organizations, businesses and parents for the benefit of Wayne County's Children. We do this by Identifying Needs, Coordinating Services, Strengthening Prevention & Intervention and Improving the Way Our Community Works Together.
