For more than half a century, the mission of PAIRS Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity, has been to teach those attitudes, emotional understandings, and behaviors that nurture and sustain healthy relationships and to make this knowledge broadly available on behalf of a safer, saner, more loving world. We accomplish our mission by developing and delivering evidence-based, best practices in marriage, family and couples education, conducting research, and training instructors worldwide.
Through our collaboration with the nonprofit Purpose Built Families Foundation, PAIRS supports research, education and related charitable activities to permanently interrupt cycles of intergenerational poverty by strengthening families as the foundation of resilient neighborhoods and communities.
PAIRS Foundation's half century of experience teaching the attitudes, emotional understandings, and behaviors that nurture and sustain healthy relationships and making this knowledge broadly available on behalf of a safer, saner, more loving world. Purpose Built Families builds on this longstanding mission by actively involving leadership of local schools, housing communities, employers, law enforcement, and faith-based programs in support of our ultimate goal of comprehensive community wellness that is sustainable and replicable as a foundation for America’s children and families to pursue the promise and potential of their lives.
