Welcome to FAN!

The Family Action Network (FAN) is a non-profit organization which seeks to facilitate the exchange of ideas, to provide parenting resources and to offer a support network for Winchester families with infants and small children.

Volunteers accomplish these goals by implementing programs such as playgroups, children’s events, and parent social events. We seek to serve as a comprehensive resource, acting to unify Winchester’s programming for families.

A newsletter is published monthly with information and ideas for our members. We also publish a local resource guide geared towards families as well as a comprehensive preschool survey. FAN’s community outreach program implements initiatives focused on bringing families together to work on community building and charitable initiatives that helps to teach children the importance of giving to others.

All of FAN’s programs are organized and run by volunteer committees and is headed by a board made up of its committee chairs. The public is encouraged to attend the April Board meeting where they can learn more about FAN and provide input on how FAN can best meet the needs of the community. While many of our activities are open to all families, most of the FAN benefits are for members. For information about becoming a FAN member, click here. Whether you are new to FAN or not, we hope you enjoy the many events planned for this year. FAN is a volunteer organization that thrives because of the enthusiasm and energy of its members - we encourage you to get involved!
