Family Support Workers act as mentors and life skills assessors,
and refer TANF clients to various agencies in the community
for assistance needed by the TANF family. FSWs administer and
score various assessments required by DFCS for TANF clients.
These assessments will be administered in the Work Experience
(WEX) building or at the TANF customer's home when needed.
Family Support Workers are expected to be proactive in their
effort to motivate clients to fully participate in the Mentoring
Program. In order for DFCS to receive credit for client participation
in the Mentoring Program clients must be involved in 20-hours
of primary activities weekly if they have children under six-years
of age and 30-hours per week if they have children six or older.
Work experience, job related activities and actual employment
are classified as "primary activities".
