Center in New York, NY 10032
FYI’s mission is primarily accomplished through its central program Community Youth in Action. The overall purpose of Community Youth in Action is to develop a generation of concerned committed community leaders that will contribute to the betterment of Washington Heights.
Community Youth in Action supports young people as they create develop and implement their own community service activities recruit peers to join their service teams immerse themselves in the concept of community service and hold public events to present their work and its results.
The use of community service work as an organizing focus for FYI activity stems from the success demonstrated by service learning programs based in school settings. FYI endeavors to show that service learning can be even more effective in a community-based setting whereby youth participants decide on the content and scope of service projects. Young people working in such a model must grapple with leadership and self-governance issues which are usually not found within a school-based setting.
