Youth and Community Mobilization 

Focused Youth Impact (FYI) is our highly engaging, interactive, and research-based model for the effective engagement of 21st Century Students seeking opportunities to impact schools, communities, and individuals in healthy, positive, and productive ways. 

 

History and our story have taught us that if change for the better is going to happen, it can’t just happen to young people; it must happen through them. Our philosophy is that engaging and empowering young people to become actively involved in community impact happens when a strong sense of Connection, Competency, and Contribution occurs.

Connection – Strong authentic connection with their peers, caring adults, and a meaningful purpose or cause.
Competency – Strong sense of confidence in their competence, based on training, preparation, allies, and resources.
Contribution – Strong sense of value rooted in the opportunity to make a significant contribution to their village.

Youth and adults will walk away:
