The mission of the Volusia Sheriff ’s Youth Foundation is to provide safe opportunities for our youth to grow and develop the tools they need to succeed in life, through the support of private donations, while ensuring 100% of all donations go to foundation projects. With role models from the Sheriff ’s Office and local community, youth will engage in activities that formulate a positive view of their future and strengthen the confidence they need to resist negative influences, by developing leadership, character and self-esteem skills. The Foundation is dedicated to fostering public safety through community building, education, and outreach.
