What it reported doing in 2025

The youth services program implemented by cfc is a prevention education & intervention program that targets three significant concerns impacting todays youth population: substance use/abuse, juvenile delinquency and teen pregnancy. The program focuses on reducing major risk behaviors such as use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and active sexual activity through character development and life/social skill learning activities directed to youth, at risk youth & families that promote and foster resiliency skills (ex. Problem solving skills, conflict resolution, decision making & goal setting). Common risk factors typically serve as the triggers leading to substance use/abuse, juvenile delinquent behavior or teen pregnancy/ HIV/stds. The service is provided during the regular academic school year to students ages 5-17 at 18 hisd schools in houstons greater east end. Youth educators are assigned to the various campuses which include elementary, middle and high schools. The educators meet with youth participants on a daily basis and work with the youth for the entire school year. The program follows the evidence-based positive action curriculum that emphasizes building healthy children, strong families and strong communities. Our programs include: - positive action parenting program (research based curriculum, year round program) - countdown to college (nine week program) - camp fresh (10 week summer day camp) - youth program age 13-17 (year round leadership program) - youth program age 6-17 (year round developmental program).
