Program 1 [2018]
The mission of Fresh Youth Initiatives (FYI) is to engage youth in positive, community-building activities while guiding and supporting them through childhood and adolescence. FYI fights poverty in three key ways. We provide a safe haven for childrens healthy development, create a pipeline to college by providing rigorous academic support starting in kindergarten straight through high school, and engage youth in local civic activities to build their sense of confidence and belonging to the community. In 2015, the board of directors expanded FYIs mission to serve children from grades 5 12 to additionally include children in grades K - 4. FYI operates across three sites where 450 children ages 5 18 participate in afterschool programs and summer camps. FYIs newly expanded services, including the Welcome Program, are serving increased numbers of immigrant youth from the Dominican Republic and Central America. We continue to help children and teens navigate developmental and school transitions, and have doubled our efforts to assist children who are coping with immigration and learning to speak English. Founded in 1993, the very first FYIers created a youth-run food pantry, organized soup carts for the hungry, and distributed hand-made sleeping bags to homeless personsall FYI traditions that have endured. Recent program growth has sparked new and varied service learning opportunities. Many of our teens today are assisting their younger peers as tutors, homework helpers, and athletic coaches, and our youth-run food pantry increasingly donates groceries to FYIs own children and families in need.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2017 – Jun 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.7MAfterschool and Summer Camp Programs
