Grant Components
FRC GRANT
Every Youth Service Center's Grant consists of 4 core components that must be addressed. The method by which the core components are addressed, and optional components developed, is determined by an ongoing process of assessing needs, identifying strengths and resources, and designing action components that address any gaps in service delivery. The YSC also picks 3 optional components. Below are the components that the TMS YSC implements each year.
