The Kentucky General Assembly created the Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSC) as an intricate part of the Kentucky Education Act (KERA) in 1990.  FRYSC were created due to the growing number and complexity of problems faced by our society such as: poverty, family restructuring, teenage pregnancy, substance abuse and mental health crisis.  

Nspiration Youth Services Center (FRYSC) removes barriers to academic success for students and families.  Nspiration Youth Services Center operates under six core components (1) Health and Social Services (2) Career Exploration and Development (3) Summer and Part-Time Job Development for high school students (4) Substance Abuse Education and Counseling (5) Family Crisis and Mental Health Counseling (6) Educational Support and Dropout Prevention.

The Nspiration Center serves Nelson County High School, Old Kentucky Home Middle School, and The Academy.
