Family Resource and Youth Service Centers (FRYSCs) are designed to identify, coordinate, and make effective use of existing school and community resources to increase student achievement across non-academic barriers. 

FRYSC centers are designed to meet the social, health, and services needs of academically at-risk children and their families. 

To minimize these and other barriers to academic success, FRYSCs develop school, family, and community partnerships that support and promote student achievement goals. 

To enhance students’ ability to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote:

• Early learning and successful transition to school;

• Academic achievement and well-being; and

• Graduation and transition into adult life.

The Kentucky Division of Family Resource and Youth Services Centers in the Cabinet for Health and Family Services shall sustain the national standard of excellence in the provision of school-based family support through continuous quality improvement.
