Who We Are

Overview

The FFRC assists youth ages 15 – 24, who are out of school, not attending regularly or credit deficient to identify a best fit academic option to complete their high school credential and career pathway.

It begins with listening … through conversation with certified staff as the students share their story. We help students determine which educational pathway is best for them, whether it’s a high school in their district or an alternative school/academic program. The FFRC annually assist over 300 students, connecting them with appropriate school placement and resource referrals, while providing coaching support for student success.

The FFRC maintains an open-door policy. Students and families are welcome to call the FFRC at 937-512-3278 or drop in to the center, located 1133 Edwin C. Moses Blvd, Suite 250, Dayton, Ohio, 45417.
