TA Menu

The NCFPP provides technical assistance to F2F HICs, other family leaders, families and professionals in the areas noted below.  For specific areas of expertise, please refer to the NCFPP staff page.

Peer-to-Peer Support

Support and assistance for family-led organizations are provided through a regional peer support system. Two National Field Co-Coordinators (NFCs) oversee four Regional Field Coordinators (RFCs) who, along with NCFPP staff, conduct annual needs assessments, facilitate calls within their regions, and assist in providing individualized TA.

Brokered TA

The TA needs of family-led organizations vary widely. In the project year 2011 – 2012, NCFPP will offer on-site TA opportunities for which states will be able to apply.  The NCFPP can help to meet intensive TA needs of family organizations by brokering matches with family and professional experts, at the expense of the family-led organization.

Partnership Opportunities

The NCFPP links professionals and professional organizations with family leaders to partner on a variety of projects.
