Our Leadership

Who We Are

At Family Support Circle (FSC), our Board of Directors is structured to ensure effective governance, strategic decision-making, and community impact. Each board and committee plays a unique role in advancing our mission to support education, youth development, immigration services, and home health care initiatives. 


FSC’s Board is comprised of members who are aligned with its mission, governance,  sustainability and board diversity goals which include individuals with expertise in youth programming, healthcare, and immigration law. FSC's Board of Directors also oversees and supports the organization’s fundraising and programmatic goals.  


It is a dynamic governance structure for three key divisions: Youth Development, Home Health Care, and Immigration Services. 


This includes three division-specific advisory committees overseen by Development Chairs, who are Advisors dedicated to developing, implementing, and strengthening fundraising efforts while ensuring accountability and engagement.


Below is an overview of our Executive Board, Advisory Board, and Committees and how they work together to drive FSC’s success.
