Families Helping Teachers Project

Partners in Inclusive Education

Families Helping Teachers is a community appreciation initiative by Families Helping Families of Greater Baton Rouge that recognizes and supports educators by stocking teachers' lounges with snacks, beverages, and encouragement throughout the school year. By caring for the people who care for our students, we strengthen classrooms, families, and our community.


Helping Teachers. Empowering Families is an initiative to let our teachers know they are supported, and we appreciate their support for students with disabilities and their families.
