Volusia Sheriff's Youth Foundation
The mission of the Volusia Sheriff's Youth Foundation is to provide safe, meaningful opportunities for youth to grow and develop the skills needed for success in life. Through the support of private donations - 100% of which directly fund Foundation projects - youth are given access to positive experiences and guidance.
With mentorship from Sheriff's Office personnel and members of the local community, youth participate in activities that promote a positive outlook on their future while strengthening confidence, leadership, character, and self-esteem. The Foundation is committed to enhancing public safety through community engagement, education, and outreach.
The Foundation proudly supports the Volusia Family Resource Center (VFRC), a full-service assessment center that provides high-quality services to juveniles and their families. Its mission is to divert youth from deeper involvement in the juvenile justice system while maintaining public safety. The VFRC offers comprehensive assessments, early intervention, and referrals to services tailored to each family's needs, helping reduce future law enforcement contact.
Additionally, the Foundation supports programs such as the Sheriff's Holiday initiatives, including Shop with a Deputy and the Deputies Toy Shop, which bring positive interactions and support to families in need.
Your support directly benefits youth, strengthens our community, and enhances law enforcement programs. This partnership plays a vital role in building trust and bridging the gap between youth and law enforcement.
Your thoughtfulness and generosity make a lasting difference in the lives of our youth and the overall well-being of our community.
Sergeant Roy "Ashley" Combs Memorial Fund
Sergeant Ashley Combs proudly served the Sheriff's Office for over 25 years, serving in many assignments such as Patrol, CID, Narcotics and SWAT. Sergeant Combs sadly lost a hard fought battle with cancer shorty after retiring from the Sheriff's Office. Most of his career was focused on fighting the war on drugs and making Volusia County a safe place to live. His passion for ridding the community of drug dealers and traffickers was largely focused on the innocent lives of the children involved.
