Bridges Family Resource Center

What is a Family Resource Center?

The Kentucky Family Resource and Youth Service Centers were established as a component of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) of 1990.

The mission of these school-based centers is to help academically at-risk students succeed in school by helping to minimize or eliminate non-cognitive barriers to learning.

FRYSC's are strengthened by community partnerships in their ability to provide programs, services and referrals to students and their families.
