The Family Resource and Youth Services Center program is built upon the foundation of collaboration. A guiding principle in the development of the program was that the FRYSC program would have a community focus - we were intended to collaborate with other entities in order to more effectively serve the needs of our students and families. Centers are to connect students and families with the resources they need to be successful.
The major purpose of the advisory council is to provide the center coordinator with input, guidance and recommendations with regard to the planning, development, implementation and coordination of center services, programs and activities. An effective advisory council is one that is proactive rather than reactive in the discussion of matters pertinent to the center. The Cabinet for Health and Family Services' contract states the advisory council shall maintain oversight of the center operations through an ongoing review of:
Budget Amendments
Needs Assessments
Budget Review (at least every other month)
Actions Plan Updates and Amendments
Evaluation of Activities (looking for the achievement of outcomes and program effectiveness)
Review of Implementation Report
Advisory council membership is comprised of parents, school and community representatives. Youth Service Centers must have at least two student representatives. The representation on the advisory council signifies the collaboration and linkage between school, home and community that is at the core of a successful Youth Services Center.
All meetings take place in the Youth Services Center at 3:15 pm and are open to the public. If you wish to join, please reach out to Zach Evans, YSC Coordinator.
