Our Leaders spent their weekend doing Random Acts of Kindness! Some passed out roses, some cleaned up Venice Beach, others made a senior’s day, and some passed out care packages to our homeless brothers and sisters! Life is too short to not give a little of your time and make someone smile! #randomactsofkindness #randomacts #secondchances https://www.instagram.com/p/BuMpoqAg6ky/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c6gfimg4ztbv

#DYK: Mathematics has been called the “language” of #STEM -- students need a strong #math foundation to succeed in STEM fields & to make sense of STEM-related topics. #Algebra1 is a key gateway course for STEM & at what grade students take it matters. #education https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsn-B53ho_i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ko84261a8aes

Youth are prone to getting into trouble. It’s almost a direct correlation – troubled youth leads to a lifetime of getting into trouble with the law, money, and the wrong people. In society, people are quick to label troubled youth as ‘trouble makers’ and dismiss them. However, this is the wrong approach. At FFSC, we work with children to give them a second chance. We utilize hands-on education, mentoring, health awareness and community service to maximize the potential of youth. Reminder to not label children troubled, instead, ask what's going on and how can you help them. #secondchances #freshstart #education #youth #leadership #community #mentorship https://www.instagram.com/p/BsmpPFzFIV3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4ltr62oxglr9

Mentoring relationships are a shared opportunity for learning and growth. Many mentors say that the rewards they gain are as substantial as those for their mentees and that mentoring has enabled them to Enhance their relationships with their own children. If you're interested in being a mentor, FFSC would love to have you volunteer with us.

Today is #WorldAIDSDay, a day we observe to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness. Sadly the world is off track when it comes to ending HIV among children and adolescents by 2030. In California, there are approximately 122,079 people living with HIV. On this day, may we all commit to fighting for a cure and raising awareness. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq30oq0FRXL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dsfoquj5iq4
