Davenport to lead Fayette Youth Protection Homes, Inc.

A new executive director has been named for Fayette Youth Protection

Homes, Inc.

Becky Davenport, who previously served as program director and children's

program director at Fayetteville First United Methodist Church, will

take over the role. She replaces Sonja Strickland, who let the position

to work at the Fayette County Council on Domestic Violence.

FYPH President Ross Berry said Davenport was a good fit because of her

experience at the church where she built successful programs that attracted

interest.

"Her insight and creativity will be invaluable to the Fayette Youth

Protection Homes," Berry said.

Davenport said she was looking forward to the "unique challenge."

"The homes are well-known and supported in the community, but that

support needs direction to alleviate the yearly shortfall in funding," Davenport

said. "I also look forward to working with the very capable people

who oversee the programs. It is fulfilling to have a small part in aiding

abused or neglected children."

Fayette Youth Protection Homes Inc. consists of the two houses known

as the Friday and Johnson Homes, which were established in 1986 to provide

a loving home environment for children who are victims of abuse or neglect.
