| Project Description: |
| The FICS Multicultural Family Center (the Center) seeks support to continue their successful programs that pay for themselves in the long run by building community resiliency through involving the community in their own improvement through education, knowledge acquisition and, in the most basic sense, keeping youth occupied during the afternoon times of the day that are known as the times when most crimes - and teen pregnancies occur. These programs have been recently evaluated as successful and should be supported. |
