Our mission has been to establish programs to aid in the prevention of juvenile delinquency. The focus is primarily on 'at-risk' youth with attention in building self-esteem, and the development of character in both the youth and parent. Through the continued partnership with federal, state, and local governments as well as funding through corporate sponsorship and the community, this organization provides services at no charge to the youth such as:
** mentoring
** after school enrichment activities
** character education
** career exploration
** health education
We strive to create supportive relationships, giving youth
responsibilities and meaningful challenges. We provide opportunities for skill building, family coordination, and school and community programming. SCFY, Inc. has been dedicated to serving the youth of Wayne and Wilson counties since 1989.
