Organization Vision FYI rests on the premise that young people are a respectable, concerned, powerful, yet under-utilized force in their community. FYI views young people as assets to be developed (not problems who need fixing), who have the time, ideas, creativity, connections in the community, and willingness to work hard in order to help themselves and others. Providing them with support and encouragement, experience, and skills, FYI endeavors to demonstrate that young people, given the chance, can be strong and positive change agents, playing a meaningful role in meeting community needs. |
