The mission of We Believe in YOU Family Services is to strengthen families living within Camden County. As a resource center, we can achieve this goal by offering various programs that address challenging issues that confront the modern day family.
Through resources and specific programs, WBY offers programs that are inviting, relative and targeted for today’s families. We believe we can make a positive impact on strengthening families, thereby strengthening the Camden County community.
Family services focus on building protective and promotive factors to reduce risk and create optimal outcomes for children, youth and families.
As a Resource Center we assist families in assessing their child care needs, provide counseling to families on the importance of parental resilience and referrals affecting their wellbeing.

Mentoring:
-
Man Talk: This service allows men to engage one another at a deep emotional level, sharing the highs and the lows of their experiences. Competitive energy is replaced by a willingness to help each other become the men they want to be as it affects family, friendships and workplace.
Demand: It’s recognized in community assessments that men experience a level of aliveness in such groupings and benefit emotionally as they move forward in meaningful ways in their lives. -
Sister to Sister: Dedicated to helping women take control of their lives by inspiring them to achieve their full potential,
Demand: Too often Women neglect their fundamental need for social confirmation and recognition which this program provides. -
Parents Club: Learning how to resist forces that destabilize a family structure as they relate to leadership, affection, rituals, acceptances, family history, hospitality and foundation.
Demand: There is a growing need to contend with societal pressures and necessitate the reaffirmation of parental roles in developing and sustain stable households. -
Boys - not at risk -
Girls - not at risk

Senior Support:
This exciting element consists of programs and activities that are easily accessible and that will help keep seniors active as they age. By keeping active, both mentally and physically, seniors stay stronger which helps to support independent living. The program supports seniors with education, activity, socialization, stimulation and friendships plus the chance to get involved in the community.
We Believe in OUR CHILDREN: WBOC
SUMMER CAMP 2012
This mission is to provide unique educational experiences for members of the club, We Believe in Our Children-WBOC. Different programs through out the year will be developed to provide life lessons to encourage youth to become proactive, positive, and productive citizens.
Summer Camp 2012 is the first event to support this mission. Summer Camp 2012 provides crucial developmental programs for youth, ages 8 -15. Camp activities are focused on nutrition, leadership, life skills and recreation with an educational theme each year. The camp is designed to meet the needs of low income children by providing nutritional meals and activities designed to combat the issue of child obesity. Additionally, the children will be exposed to the arts and mentoring that encourages their intellectual curiosity in their quest to achieve their dreams.
This years Summer Camp theme is Diversity
Our goal is to increase the understanding of various cultures by the student participants. We expect an increase in understanding of various cultures by the student participants. We expect improvements in communication and support between children of different cultures in school, neighborhoods, and households. We hope to see a reduction in school violence between students of different cultures.
Overall, we can expect more supportive learning of school objectives by these students due to improvements in communication.
We have collaborated with the Milton and Betty Katz Jewish Community Center in Cherry Hill and The Princeton International Charter School for a study in Chinese culture.
