Why it matters
Strong family relationships keep teens safe and help them succeed in school. This free program teaches parents and teens how to communicate better and handle conflicts. Gift cards reward teens who complete the program, showing our community values their hard work.
If this passes
Families get free help building stronger relationships. Teens learn communication skills and get gift cards for completing the program. Parents get tools to handle conflicts better.
If this does not pass
Families must find other ways to get help with parent-teen relationships. No gift card incentive to encourage teens to participate in family programs.
