Cole Family Resource Center
NEW FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER AT COLE ELEMENTARY When students get help addressing issues affecting them and their families, they can better focus on academics inside the classroom. That’s the theory behind United Way’s school-based Family Resource Centers — and the impetus for the newest center now open at Cole Elementary School in Antioch. The Family Resource Center at Cole Elementary is the 13th site in United Way of Metropolitan Nashville’s network of one-stop shops for health and human services needs. Family Resource Centers help residents in Nashville’s most vulnerable schools and neighborhoods get the services they need to lead stable, healthy and productive lives by offering programs in one convenient location. They serve 28,000 low-income residents annually. Cole Elementary Family Resource Center is the result of a partnership between United Way of Metropolitan Nashville and Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. Conexion Americas is the lead agency. Approximately 11 nationalities are represented among Cole’s 770 students.
