StepfamilySystems.com Shared-Parenting and Stepamily Care
Work and Volunteer Opportunities
 

picturegallery753639518193723382.tmp/Ethan.Standing.jpg   It is estimated that one out of every 10 children will experience two divorces of the custodial parent before he or she turns 16 (Furstenberg, 1988).
Those who care about the outcomes of co-parenting and stepfamily life transitions on couples, children, teens and college-age adults will want to come aboard. StepfamilySystems.com will rely on the expertise and shared insights garnered in the field from our sales team, its leadership and management. Falling outside of traditional support parameters, grant funding has not yet been attained, nor is it guaranteed when so many organizations are competing for the same, limited funding. As a result we have redesigned our efforts for growth and programs expansion through advertising revenue as well as event and broadcast sponsorships.
