What We Do

The Family Resource & Training Center (FRTC) is a specialized organization operating under the umbrella of Eastern Washington University's College of Professional Programs, in partnership with the School of Social Work. The FRTC is committed to the development and delivery of training, and facilitation of programs enhancing the fabric of support and well-being of children, families, and professionals engaged in the child welfare system. For the last 30 years, we have developed products and services aligned with Federal and State policy; meeting the specific needs of families and providers.

The FRTC offers internship opportunities for social work and other degree path students. Our projects are carefully designed to be responsive to the specific needs of individual students and the communities we serve, with a vision to enact impactful, high quality, and enduring connection across the Pacific Northwest.
