Youth Residents Head Off to College

For the past 37 years, Family Services of Westchester has been providing stable homes for girls and boys ages 13 to 21 who cannot or should not remain in their home due to abuse, neglect or behavioral difficulties. House parents and social workers supervise and care for the adolescents, who are encouraged to stay in school, find part-time jobs and participate in extracurricular activities. The residents are responsible for household chores and maintaining their rooms and common areas as well. Michael Graham-Walker Staff members who support the eight youth in each residence are delighted to see four residents successfully graduate from White Plains High School and go on to college this fall. One of the graduates, Michael Graham-Walker, 19, credits his success to the strong support offered by the FSW staff. “The FSW staff members are on our side 100 percent, with school, with jobs, with driver’s licenses, everything,” says Michael, who was a wide receiver for three years before a fractured vertebra forced him into a brace for eight months during his final year of school. Michael is attending SUNY Morrisville State where he has big goals: to study forensics and criminology, followed by nursing. He hopes to pick up football in college, and he enjoys singing and dancing as well. He knows, however, that he needs to make class work his number one priority. “Now that I am getting older, I realize I can’t play sports all the time when I’m free. Now I have to work.” Thorne Quinney, 18, has been balancing school and work for the past year as a high school student and part-time employee for Steiner Sports Marketing in New Rochelle. Thorne was named Employee of the Month after only one month on the job, an award he says is very important to him. He is starting his college career studying Business Thorne Quinney Administration at Westchester Community College and hopes to move on to receive a Bachelor’s Degree at a four- year university. He also wants to continue working at Steiner Sports while he is in college and remain at FSW’s Youth Residence. “Being in the Youth Residence has really motivated me to attend college,” says Thorne, who adds that he had no plans to continue his education before he arrived at the residence. “I am happier now and I really think the staff helped me and the others quite a lot. They helped me get my job “The FSW staff members are on our side at Steiner Sports.” 100 percent, with school, with jobs, with Brandon Steiner, CEO of Steiner Sports, and his wife Mara have spearheaded capital campaigns to cover the costs of major renovations of both youth driver’s licenses, everything.” residences. “Brandon Steiner is constantly doing things to help us out,” says Thorne. Steiner likes to take the boys and girls out to basketball and baseball games, bring them a holiday feast at Thanksgiving and just spend time with them. The Boys’ Residence has been renamed the Jerome Wagner Youth Residence for Boys after Mara’s late father, while the Girls’ Residence was recently renamed the Evelyn Sachs Steiner Home for Girls after Brandon’s late mother. continued on page 2 Funding Cuts Pose Challenge for Several FSW Programs The economic slump has prompted a spike in the number of Westchester residents and families who need counseling and assistance from social service agencies like Family Services of Westchester. But state and county funding for important programs, like Big Brothers Big Sisters and Youth Council leadership training for teens, are all experiencing budget cuts. The county implemented a seven percent cut in its Invest in Kids initiative while the state cut its COPS (Comprehensive Outpatient Program Services) funding by seven percent as well. “These simulta- neous funding cuts are a double whammy for some of our programs,” notes Lynn Green, Vice President of Development for Family Services of Westchester. FSW’s Respite programs, which provide after-school recreation and a seven-week day camp for children with serious emotional difficulties, were affected by both cutbacks. “This is particularly heart-wrenching as these youngsters in Respite cannot usually participate in other after-school and summer programs,” adds Green. “They need more structure and individualized attention and without programs like Respite, they will be at home with nothing to do, losing ground socially and emotionally.” Programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters are experiencing government funding cuts. To offset government funding cuts, more donations from individuals and foundations are needed.
