Set Free Community & Family Development is the vision of Clyde and Debra Cook. It is a youth and family development center housed in a 15,000 square foot facility, situated on 1 acre of land. It is recognized as a public IRS 501(c)(3), designed to serve the educational and social needs of the community.

It was created to offer youth, ages 5-21, a positive alternative for creativity and growth. Instead of joining a gang or engaging in some self-destructive behavior, youth can participate in a variety of academic enrichment and mentoring activities or programs which encourage character and integrity development. Its founders believe that education is the key to success and that they should help empower youth as well as the community to live healthy lifestyles!

Our goal is to help instill three core tenants: Character Development, Work Ethic and Servant Leadership. The goal is to increase the resiliency of each youth thereby increasing the probability they will engage in more pro-social behaviors and reduce their chances of violent, delinquent or substance abusing behaviors. The acquisition of these positive skills by the youth will strengthen their self-esteem, support improved academic performance and increase their ability to successfully maneuver through their adolescent years.

The establishment and development of positive programs foster the missing element in lives of the youth served. SFC community and family development strives to be an integral part in youth becoming viable, healthy adults.
 

We offer an after-school program in which youth are picked up from school, provided a snack, receive help with their homework and tutoring and they participate in supervised, fun activities until a parent/guardian picks them up each day. We also offer programs which build character and self-esteem, teach discipline and promote team building. Additionally, we offer Spring Break and Summer Camps to provide youth the opportunity to retain academic levels. Our camps provide math, reading, science and life skill classes in the morning and fine arts, recreational activities and sports in the afternoon.

In addition to programs for kids, Set Free Community and Family Development has programs that benefit the community as a holistic approach to helping the community and its inhabitants become stronger and better.
