15 youth in Frontenac, Lennox and Addington will benefit greatly from the Futures Fund, awarded by Family and Children’s Services. The organization gave nearly $55,000 in total to the youth which serves to send them to college or university or help them with life opportunities. The Futures Fund, which is funded by donations, was expanded this year to include life opportunities – non-education support for careers, health and wellbeing, culture and heritage and transition to adulthood. Five of the 15 applications this year were for life opportunities. The Fund also raised the age limit for applicants from 21 to 30 to help youth who have left the Agency’s services but still need support.
