Family support programs occur in a community where resources, leadership, and caring come together in response to real problems and real opportunities. Often families need support to encourage their children's success in school. Recognizing the importance of the total family in high academic performance and educational success, Family Resource and Youth Service Centers (FRYSC) were created and implemented to assist families and children meet national and state academic standards.

The resource centers were included in The Kentucky Education Reform Act of 1990. The centers' mission is to enhance students' abilities to succeed in school, assisting students and their families with access to community programs and/or information about programs. The mission of FRYSC'S is to create community partnerships that are dedicated to helping students and their families overcome problems that keep students from succeeding in school. FRYSC'S coordinate existing family and youth support services.

To establish a FRYSC, one or more schools may obtain funding for a center by developing a grant proposal. Schools compete for state grants by submitting the proposal to the Cabinet for Human Resources in cooperation with the Kentucky Department of Education. A school must have at least 20% of the student population eligible for the federal Free School Meals Program in order to apply for the grant. Once established, the center is open to all students and their families within the school community without regard to family income.

Presently, there are thirty-six (36) FRYSC'S serving forty (40) schools in the Fayette County Public School system.
