The Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) of 1990, KRS 156.496 and KRS 156.4977 as amended, created the Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSC). FRYSC provides technical assistance, as well as administrative and training support to the local school-based FRYSC. The primary goal of these centers is to enhance student ability to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote early learning and successful transition into school, academic achievement and well-being, graduation, and transition into adult life.
Each center has a unique blend of program components depending on location, available services, local need, and community input designed to promote the flow of resources and support to families in ways that strengthen their functioning and further the growth and development of each member. Services may include after-school child care, literacy programs, home visits to new/expectant parents, referrals to social services, employment counseling, summer and part-time job development, drug/alcohol counseling, and family crisis and mental health counseling. Centers also offer programs such as peer mediation, conflict resolution, pregnancy prevention and job shadowing.
There are currently 960 centers that include 503 family resource centers, 343 youth services centers, and 114 combined centers that serve a combination of elementary, middle and high school students. These centers serve approximately 1,200 schools and over 633,000 students and their families.
In accordance with all appropriation bills since the Kentucky Education Reform Act was passed in 1990, the General Fund amounts for the FRYSC program are appropriated to the Kentucky Department of Education and transferred annually to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Department for Family Resource Centers and Volunteer Services, to be administered.
