Our Community-Based Mentoring and Educational (CBME) program is designed to reach our youth early in their lives in order to prevent later involvement in the juvenile justice system.
This program is designed for those who are 11-17 years old and who are in the early stages of involvement in the juvenile justice or corrections systems. It is designed to address delinquent behavior in an effort to prevent subsequent offending. The services provided are screening and assessment, education and tutorial services, victim awareness classes and activities, service learning programs, substance use education, job skills training, referrals for mental health treatment and individual and family counseling if needed, crisis intervention, parenting skill development, supports for rebuilding family relationships and quality recreation and organized sports programs.
We provide financial assistance on an emergency basis for support in emergency situations.
KBFLC’s Empowerment Program is designed for young adults who are 18-24 years of age. Assistance is offered to help them achieve academic and employment success.
It provides activities, which includes a variety of options for improving educational and skill competencies, providing effective connections to employers, ensuring on-going mentoring opportunities, providing opportunities for training, providing continued supportive services, providing incentive for recognition and achievement, and providing opportunities related to leadership development, decision making, citizenship, and community service.
Our diversion program is designed for those who are 11-17 years old and who are in the early stages of involvement in the juvenile justice or corrections systems.

We offer a variety of services for youth and young adults to get them back on track like tutoring/homework help in a specific course, writing skills for any assignments, study habit strategies, time management allocation, and conquering test anxieties. We offer individual and group tutoring, experienced tutors, and weekly workshops. For many students, middle, high and college is a whole new world when it comes to studying and rigor. But that doesn’t mean they have to struggle. We are here to help!
We partner with parents, schools, community-based organizations and businesses to strengthen protective factors that help teens and young adults avoid high-risk behavior, safeguard their futures, and become their best possible selves. Our peer mentoring program empowers teens and young adults to make positive life choices with a future focus.
We support young adults 18-24 to promote educational success, job readiness, positive behaviors and healthy life choices, and develop strong leadership skills.
