BETHEL COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (BCF), INC.

Bethel Community Foundation (BCF) is a Pinellas County Juvenile Welfare Board Funded Truancy Intervention Program neighborhood family center. Since January 2004, Bethel has successfully served over 3,000 youth and families. We believe our unique blend of traditional and non-traditional approaches allows us to meet families where they are. In-office and school-based counseling services, case management and school mentoring visits are key to serving our clients and their families. Also included in our core mix of services are Youth Resiliency Classes, Anger Management Classes, Parental Support Group and a Summer Youth Empowerment Summit (Y.E.S.) for youth 13-17 years old.

Leading the TIPS program is an Executive Director possessing over 30 years of diverse social and human services experience in Pinellas County. Bethel Community Foundation also employs a team of three Navigators trained to provide motivational youth mentoring and empowering parent coaching.
