Partners: Family Development Credential Program

Since our first meeting of FDC state coordinators in January we are pleased that Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,Illinois,Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia have partnered with TUH

Existing FDC state programs are invited to join as Partnership Agencies in the Temple University National FDC Program. Through ongoing dialogue with FDC State Coordinators, we believe the term “Partnership” most accurately reflects this stage in the advancement of the National Family Development Credential program.
