The Port Chester Cares Community Coalition along with its community partners presents “Family University,” an event designed to empower students in grades 6-12 and their parents to make smart choices within their family.

The evening will include workshops in English and Spanish exploring a variety of subjects affecting today’s teens. Family University is in session from 6-9pm on Tuesday, March 29 at Port Chester Middle School (1 Tamarack Road). Childcare will be provided for children ages 3-10, which will provide activities such as Open Door’s Reach Out and Read and the Clary Art Center’s art project.

Family University is comprised of several workshops for parents, students and families including alcohol and substance abuse prevention, “Comedy Hour,” “Do You Love Soccer?” and “Zumba Your Way to a Healthy Life.” With guest speakers including TODAY Show Parenting Expert Debra Haffner and MSNBC consultant Tom Grimes, the workshops will provide students and their families with information exploring constructive solutions for families when faced with issues like bullying, peer pressure, drugs and alcohol. Acknowledging the positive effect family meals have on teens, students and parents will also enjoy a boxed dinner together provided by Garden Catering.
