In that program, boys 11 to 18 from Goochland and surrounding counties come every day for education and counseling, then go home. We realized the strong need on that end of Richmond. It's a day program like Harambee where kids come for counseling and education. We also work with girls. Funding for Elk Hill is about 75-percent public, Farley said.
Funds come through the agency referring the child.
We have a kid leaving right now named Clarence, who was a very angry, defensive kid as a result of broken family, and didn't trust adults. He has now graduated from high school. His funds ran out four months ago, but we privately scholarshiped him to keep him here. That kind of speaks to the importance of the private funding. They've just been through a lot of abuse and neglect.
