About Us
Several challenges face youth in our community: poor academics, high school dropout, gang violence, drug
use, lack of social responsibility, character issues, childhood obesity and overall sense of hopelessness,
helplessness and despair. In the spring of 2006 we became a community based organization to use the social
capitol of sports (American Football) and mentoring to help youth become positive productive adults.
Mission
To use the social capital of youth sports to empower underprivileged and underserved youth to excel in life
through: educational services, health/nutritional awareness, physical activities, social responsibility, cultural
appreciation and long term mentoring; further more to rebuild youth and families by repairing the damage
done by social messages that does not teach or validate personal and or social responsibility.
Our Chapter Motto:
"It's Time to Teach New School Kids, Old School Values"©
We believe until we restore values, principals and teaching points passed down from generation to generation
the youth in our community will forever be lost.
Innovative Services
Falcons Youth and Family Services have developed several unique and innovative programs to address
challenges around health, education, character and social development.
