Hello! Welcome to the Frederick Douglass Youth Service Center page. I am Desiree Marshall, and I have been proudly serving as your FRYSC for three years. Outside of my professional life, you can find me perusing Pinterest, reading a good book or engaging in extra-curricular activities with my husband and children. As a FRYSC, I am dedicated to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student can thrive by ensuring students basic and non-academic needs are met.
If you need assistance, please email me or submit the needs request form below.
