St. Tammany Commission on Families

St. Tammany Commission on Families is a diverse coalition of individuals and agencies working together to increase our capacity to empower families by providing opportunities for networking, collaboration, training and information exchange.  Our purpose is to identify service gaps, develop strategies for the mobilization and  utilization of volunteers within organizations and involve the private sector in supporting services for families and children. Since 1996 the commission has worked with people, groups and organizations that provide critical support and services to children and families.
