The Kentucky Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSC) initiative was established with the passage of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) of 1990, as amended. The mission of these school based centers is to enhance students abilities to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote: early learning and successful transition into school, academic achievement and well-being, graduation, and transition into adult life. Each center has a unique blend of program components depending on location, available resources, local need and community input. The goal of the FRC is to meet the needs of all children and their families who reside in the community or neighborhood served by the school in which the center is located.
FRYSC Current Goals
The goal of the FRYSCs is to meet the needs of all children and their families who reside in the community or neighborhood served by the school in which the center is located.
