Donate to the Ferguson Youth Initiative
The Ferguson Youth Initiative (FYI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving youth (13-19 years old) in the Ferguson community by encouraging them and engaging them as active members of the community, developing programs as needed, and further communicating and partnering with existing community youth programs. Our goals are to foster a sustained network of opportunities for youth to have their voices and opinions considered in local governing and throughout the broader community.
FYI emphasizes youth participation in civic engagement. We practice inclusive planning with youth in decision-making roles to influence and shape community-based programing. Placing collaborations with existing community youth programs as a central value, FYI leverages volunteers, business leaders and local government to create a web of programming.
Our programs are managed by committed volunteers and sponsored by grants, private donations and fundraising campaigns.
Corporate Support
Since 2010, FYI has had more than 6,250 mentoring contacts with teens, held 2000 events, and enabled 100 Ferguson Youth Advisory Board leaders to work directly on issues important to teens in Ferguson and the surrounding communities.
There are a lot of programs out there focused on empowering youth as they reach adulthood, but none are more effective in drawing local stakeholders together to empower a new generation of engaged citizens and community leaders.
We hope you will join us as a supporter of the youth and FYI.
All donations are tax deductible.
