Our agency provides three services to make a transforming difference in the lives of thousands of children and their families:

• Education for at-risk children and their families
• Therapy for troubled children and their families
• Sharing what we learn with other professionals and organizations

This third tenet of our mission, program-sharing, is a really exciting way to reach many more young people than we could ever serve directly. Salesmanship Club past president, Bob Ferguson, described program-sharing as “leveraging our efforts for the greater good.”

This means SCYFC recognizes that no matter how effective our direct services are, we can never serve the huge numbers of kids and families in need of our therapeutic or educational services. Instead, we seek to join with others in partnership to share and exchange ideas and practices. A big way we share what we learn is through our research and evaluation reports and publications. In addition to this, we share what we learn through training and consultation via:

• The Reunion Institute – Providing continuing education for mental health professionals and human service organizations
• Institute for Excellence in Urban Education – collaborating with teachers, partner schools and district leaders to help them improve learning outcomes with their students
