WHY ARE WE CALLED AMPERSAND FAMILIES?

The symbol ‘&’ is called an ampersand. It’s a connector that we’re all familiar with and often use to connect important ideas together when we write. It means ‘and.’

Ampersand Families thinks ‘and’ is a really important idea because it means more people coming together, more resources and more support to help young people feel hope about their future. Ampersand Families includes people, ideas and resources that might help a young person build life-long relationships. That’s connecting. That’s Ampersand.
