Project Details. Please describe how your agency plans to use these funds as well as the direct services the agency plans to offer using these funds. Please be specific. FLCRC has provided the Youth Ambassador Leadership Education (Y.A.L.E.) program for six consecutive years. Funding for this grant will be utilized to provide continued support services to 25 youth and their families. Approximately, 40% percent of the Y.A.L.E. are crime victims. Likewise, funding for this grant will support the direct services such as advocacy, counseling and educational support services in a safe environment. Y.A.L.E. is a student-led program designed to promote countywide leadership opportunities for students to be actively involved with planning and implementing community initiatives. Leading the Way through Service Learning is the Y.A.L.E. motto! Y.A.L.E. links students in grades 5th through college level to various activities related to character education, diversity, leadership, service learning and college and career readiness. We served a total 126 students and 55 families over the past five years. Furthermore, FLCRC utilizes a positive and proactive approach to addressing trauma- related issues with youth and crime victims. National trends show that mental health and wellness is a growing concern in our communities. FLCRC has provided counseling, educational and advocacy support services to over 300 crime victims since 2017. In August 2021, we loss a young client and youth leader with a very promising future who was a silent victim of domestic violence. Currently, we are working with the family and youth leaders who were with her for a service-learning volunteer event just days before her untimely death. FLCRC's staff frequently respond to crisis related situations and provide support services throughout the program.
