SERVING BOTH EAST & WEST JESSAMINE HIGH SCHOOLS
Who we are & How to contact us
Jennifer Andrews
This is my first year as the Youth Service Center Coordinator. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from Asbury University and have worked in several different areas of social work. Some of my experience include; DOJ, Victims Advocate with Commonwealth, Drug Court, Veterans Treatment Court and The Salvation Army Homeless Shelter Social Service Coordinator.
I am over joyed to be here in Jessamine County and I look forward to serving the students and families in the community I call home.

I have been part of the FRYSC program and JCS for 25 years and believe greatly in the FRYSC mission of the home-school-community connection. I have worked with all ages of students from preschool to adult but truly enjoy the time I spend with the teenagers at both East and West High Schools.
I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in Family Studies and am grateful for the many relationships with families I have been able to serve since that time.
I am excited to meet each of our students and their families and wish to provide assistance that will help all of our youth excel after graduation.
