Where families, schools & communities thrive together.
MASFEC helps Massachusetts families engage in their children's wellness and educational success. We build the capacity of educational and healthcare institutions to partner with families and communities, from prenatal to adulthood.
Family engagement that moves student success forward
The Massachusetts Statewide Family Engagement Center (MASFEC) promotes family engagement in children's educational and healthcare experiences, building the capacity of families, schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations to support student success and well-being.
Our programs support families, districts, schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations working to build meaningful partnerships that improve student learning, health, and success.
FCSN provides training, outreach, and information to families across Massachusetts. “Building an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming world. Together.”
