Young Motivators Youth Operations
NCF Young Motivators continues our leadership's 25-year experience empowering youth.
We teach the importance of teamwork, self-discipline, leadership skills, and provide mental, physical, and moral training that builds good citizens.
Through a variety of programs and partners, NCF Young Motivators strengthens local youth with a focus on self-confidence and academic achievement and maintaining a drug-free lifestyle. NCF Young Motivators offers home-schooled children healthy and supervised social interaction.
Enrolling ages 8 to 18, we offer many opportunities for Young Motivators to help our neighbors and themselves, including:
Garden & Farm Operations: in partnership with Katie’s Krops and Thomas Nichols' Farm, Young Motivators work to grow vegetables - from seed to harvest.

Drug-Free Living: we provide comprehensive drug resistance and drug prevention training, and as Young Motivators learn and grow, they, in turn, present this information to their peers in community settings.

Physical & Mental Fitness and Nutrition: all Young Motivators learn the importance of “real” and nutritious food and maintaining physical exercise for health, as well as instruction on emotional and social well-being.
Community Service and Outreach: Young Motivators are often called to assist the Fort White and Lake City communities, whether directing traffic or helping charities, Young Motivators step forward and assist as needed.

Restoring Hope: Young Motivators may support local seniors, veterans, and women in need. In special cases, we may assist with light yard work, grocery delivery, household chores, or serving holiday meals, depending upon availability and circumstances.
Workplace Skills: through program opportunities, and in partnership with EmployU, Young Motivators gain valuable skills. EmployU offers Work Readiness Training and Interview Skills, helping youth along the path to independence. Young Motivators also make local connections through the program that provide opportunity for career success.
