FFSC Mentoring Getting Ready to Launch!

Mentors Tina and Jess begin constructing a free-standing structure as part of our training energizer, Going Up!

...and we're back! It's been a madhouse here at FFSC recently, but we're back and ready to document the launch of our new mentoring program that will exclusively serve children of prisoners in Los Angeles County! We are steadily reaching our goal of launching 15 matches this round, with our final Mentor Orientation/Training scheduled for Saturday, February 5.


FFSC Mentoring is also thrilled to welcome its newest addition, Program Coordinator Brian Ponce! Brian comes to us fresh from University of Illinois at Chicago, where he earned his Master's degree in Criminology, Law and Justice. Brian also has extensive experience in providing mentorship to youth at-risk in the community, and we welcome his fantastic energy and great ideas as he becomes an integral part of our team. Welcome, Brian!
