What We Do
E3’s mission is to build strong families and, in turn, stronger communities. We operate under the belief that taking the time to educate children about risk avoidance and the importance of making solid and future-focused choices while they are young will lead to stronger, healthier lives.
Each “E” in E3 Family Solutions stands for one of our three core goals.
Teens are faced with important decisions every day, but, in the heat of the moment, it can be difficult to see how those decisions might affect their future. Our Equipping Youth (EY) program is designed to set teens up for future success by helping them to come to an understanding of the importance of making healthy decisions while they are young.
Being a parent during a child’s teenage years is no small task. Teens are presented with a plethora of challenges in their formative years that will have a lasting imprint on the rest of their lives. It’s up to the parents to help them to navigate this tumultuous season of growth. It is often confusing and almost never easy. That is why we’ve made Empowering Parents one of our primary focuses.
E3 Family Solutions promotes and advocates for family-friendly policies at the local, state, and federal levels. Our goal is to educate and inform policymakers about how thoughtful, family-centered policies can strengthen families and, in turn, improve the well-being of our communities.
One key community initiative is our Human Trafficking Prevention Program, which provides educational presentations and resources to adults and community leaders to increase awareness of human trafficking and promote prevention efforts.
Another important community initiative is Sumter CAP, our Drug-Free Coalition, which works to develop and support policies and practices that foster a safe, healthy, substance-free environment for teens and families throughout Sumter County.
