Parent/Child Center Celebrates 30 Years With a Party at Town Hall Theater
The Addison County Parent/Child Center celebrates 30 years of supporting adolescents and young families with a party at Town Hall Theater in Middlebury on June 25 at 7:30 pm. Guests will enjoy hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar as they dance to the music of "blusion" band, Deep Freyed.
The Parent/Child Center was founded in 1980, as one of four national pilot projects of the Federal Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs. Thirty years later, the P/CC offers a variety of effective support and education programs for families with young children and at-risk adolescents. Its cost-effective programs not only help individual families; its coordination of services benefits the entire community. In large part due to the efforts of the P/CC, Addison County now has one of the lowest young adolescent pregnancy rates in the country.
The P/CC offers child care to at-risk families, home visits, parent education, work readiness training, early childhood and family services, alternative education, and prevention programs designed to reduce teen pregnancy. The P/CC served as a state-wide model for the fifteen parent/child centers that now exist across Vermont, and the P/CC supports the consortium of the Vermont Parent/Child Center Network.
The Parent/Child Center Anniversary Celebration will be held on Friday, June 25 beginning at 7:30 pm. Tickets, $25, are available through the THT Box Office by calling 802-382-9222, online at www.townhalltheater.org, in person on Merchants Row, Middlebury (Mon-Sat, noon-5 pm), or at the door.
