What the money paid for, in its own words
FY2025 · Form 990, Part III · the three largest programs by expenseBoard and care: cflc allows time and opportunities for healing through a treatment program that utilizes the "power of a normal environment", counseling, education, and independent living skill development. Caring staff members 'parent' the youth throughout the daily routine of chores, meals, school, outings, gardening, and care for pets and livestock. The youth homes provided residential treatment for 53 at risk female adolescents at 3 facilities in hemet
Youth employment training: cflc's youth opportunity centers in hemet, lake elsinore, and rubidoux help identify career aptitudes for young job seekers ages 16-21, teach interview skills and customer service, arrange paid internships and employment in the business community and connect them to higher education. An experienced youth development specialist tracks each participant's progress, guiding, encouraging, coaching (and sometimes parenting) them for a full two years. The centers enrolled 1067 at risk youth in job training and education programs during the year
Foster families: foster families play an active role in the foster child's education and emotional and physical health. Foster kids need advocacy at school and help with their homework, regular medical and dental checkups, many will be in counseling, and most will have frequent supervised visits with their natural parents. Children may need to be a part of a family for a few weeks, or a few years, depending on the courts' evaluation of their parent's rehabilitation. The organization placed 63 abused and neglected children in foster homes this year
