OUR PROGRESS THROUGH 2014

Among the accomplishments here at KYFS in 2014 was one of crossing a milestone of legacy.  In September KYFS moved into its 45th year of making a positive impact on children, youth and their families. That “impact” has grown over those years from a nucleus of volunteers joining together to provide an evening drop in safe place for troubled youth in the early 1970s, to a multi-services major provider of impact, positive change, improved academic, social, emotional/behavioral, housing family stability and much more truly proving “hope that starts here so hope doesn’t end here, and a better future for children, youth and families who found their way in 2014 to KYFS from throughout central South King County.
