The Rockland BOCES Family Resource Center Foundation

Creating a Brighter Future

Our Mission

"The Rockland BOCES Family Resource Center Foundation was founded as a true labor of love".

The Rockland BOCES Family Resource Center Foundation (FRC) fosters innovation, engagement, and confidence in Rockland BOCES students and their families by providing high-quality programming and supports to empower and prepare them for success. Being a vital part of our community enables the Family Resource Center Foundation to provide essential resources and enrichment opportunities. More than simply giving to a charity, donors are concentrating their contributions where they will do the most good for local students and families. 100% of outside corporate and individual support goes directly to local students and families.

Rockland BOCES: A Year of Excellence 2020

Graduation is an exciting time for the #RocklandBOCES community, and we are always proud to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our students. With the global coronavirus pandemic cancelling plans for in-person, Spring 2020 commencement ceremonies and moving-up celebrations, our agency hosted both pre-produced and real-time virtual events to honor our learners. These virtual events included graduating and "completing" students from all programs that are typically represented at our traditional, in-person year-end celebrations. While these virtual events did not fully replace the experience of a live, in-person commencement, our school community enjoyed the annual celebration of growth, success and achievement from the safety of their homes. #BOCESproud #StaySafe
