Florida Network of Youth and Family Services

The Florida Network of Youth and Family Services is a non-profit statewide association of agencies which serve runaway, truant, ungovernable and other troubled youth and their families. This population is defined by the statute as Children and Families in Need of Services or CINS/FINS. The services provided by the Network's member agencies are designed to prevent juvenile delinquency and child abuse through the strengthening of youth and families. For thirty years, the Florida Network member agencies have been providing services to these troubled youth and families with significant success. With a statewide delivery system of core services, a statutorily defined target population and commitment to preserving the creativity and flexibility that comes from private community-based community driven agencies, the Florida Network and its' member agencies have served nearly one million youth and families from a diverse range of people including visible minorities, people with disabilities, new immigrants and many others.
