Families Of Color Seattle (FOCS) is a non-profit organization that is connecting parents to build a loving community of families of color. Founded in 2013, FOCS is led by mothers of color. Our programs include parent groups, community resources and events, and racial equity consulting. We specialize in community dialogues, workshops, and consulting on race, family engagement, and anti-bias education. We equip parents and educators with tools to talk with children on identity, racism, inclusion & equity, and trauma-informed practices.
FOCS has connected 2,500+ families into an intercultural and interethnic community, employed and trained 40+ parent educators to facilitate parent and affinity groups, and provided 40+ consultation and parent & educator workshops to community organizations, public and independent schools, and preschools.
