Families + Neighbors Together (FNT) & Student Engagement Team (SET)

The Families + Neighbors Together (FNT) and Student Engagement Team (SET) program are community-based Sheboygan County Health and Human Services programs. The FNT program highlights our commitment to our community and residents. The work is centered in two City of Sheboygan neighborhoods where additional support is needed. The south side location is the Wesley House, located at 829 Union Avenue. The SET program is also located in this south side location. Our north side location is at St. John's UCC, located at 1248 Lincoln Avenue.

The SET program is a voluntary program working with students at Sheboygan Area School District Middle Schools (Etude, Farnsworth, George Warriner, Horace Mann, and Urban) , Howards Grove Middle School, and Random Lake Middle School. Students are referred by school social workers or other identified school staff.

FNT is community-focused and engaging to local stakeholders, not-for-profit agencies, schools and, most importantly, residents of these neighborhoods to create collaborative networks. These networks focus on neighborhood-based prevention and early intervention efforts to support families, communities, and agency partners. This program offers resource referrals, advocacy support, and problem-solving assistance to residents in the areas of housing, food security, employment, and health via relationships.

SET provides the student, their family, and the school district with an option besides the traditional responses of using a citation or making a referral to Youth Justice to address truancy. SET involves both the student and their family participating in agreed-upon supports and services based on their needs. It is the intention of SET to provide support and assistance so that students can be successful in school, at home, and in the community.
