Additional information: The Northwest Family Services is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization in Oregon serving at-risk communities. Northwest Family Services has successfully managed several large federal grants with a budget of $2.3 million providing services to the community for over 30 years. This grantee’s allowable/authorized activities are: public advertising campaign; education in high schools on the value of marriage, relationship skills and budgeting; marriage education, marriage skills, and relationship skills programs, that may include parenting skills, financial management, conflict resolution and job & career advancement; pre-marital education and marriage skills training; marriage enhancement and marriage skills training programs for married couples; and divorce reduction programs that teach relationship skills.
