East Baton Rouge Parish has found an invaluable partnership in FYSC. We have benefited from actively engaging the Superintendent of Schools, Mayor, Sheriff, Chief of Police, state agencies, and local business and community groups to collaborate on truancy prevention initiatives. We believe that the model of early identification, assessment and intervention is the right model to implement across our entire school system to reduce both juvenile and adult crime.

I am proud to be part of this innovative partnership between private entities, the District Attorney, the School Board, the City – Parish and the State of Louisiana; all working together to address the needs of academically at-risk children and their families in East Baton Rouge Parish by delivering coordinated and timely services resulting in a safer and better Baton Rouge.

The Home Builders program at FYSC helped us get good jobs and become better people.

The people at FYSC never give up. I matter to them and that matters to me.
