FAF provides the juvenile court system an alternative to help deter young people ages 6-19 from placement into training schools. The youth participating are presently involved, or at risk of becoming involved, in the court system.

The goals of this program are to:

• Help youth channel energy in more constructive ways
• Develop better attitudes toward school
• Improve their social interaction skills
• Demonstrate a more positive self concept

There are four pieces to this program:

The Governor’s One-on-One provides youth with positive role models by matching youth with adult volunteers in a mentor-protégé relationship. Each volunteer is required to spend only 4 hours per week for a full year with his or her youth.

The JCPC Interpersonal Skills provides group sessions with guidance in identifying problems and setting goals for the future. Educational, recreational and cultural activities are included.

Mentoring Children of Incarcerated Parents strives to find mentors for youth who have at least one parent in prison. These children are also able to participate in our weekly Interpersonal Skills sessions.

Support Our Students serves youth who are academically at-risk in this after school component. They receive academic help from tutors as well as time for organized enrichment and recreation activites in a structured setting.
