WELCOME TO FOR YOUTH INITIATIVE (F.Y.I)
Growing as a By-Youth For-Youth Organization
For Youth Initiative (FYI) serves youth aged 13-29 in the priority neighbourhood of Weston – Mount Dennis and surrounding neighbourhoods of West-end Toronto. FYI began as a project in the former City of York to respond to the crucial and pressing issues of youth disengagement, violence, crime, poverty and alienation among at-risk youth in the area. Incorporated in 2000, FYI acquired charitable status in 2004 and became a United Way member agency in 2005.
We are proud to have reached this juncture by adhering closely to our by-youth for-youth model. Young people are central players in the decision making process at FYI and hold leadership roles within the organization on the Board of Directors, as committee members, as volunteers and as staff. FYI strives to build strong youth leaders who are engaged and empowered to assume active roles in building healthy and vibrant communities.
Please check the rest of our website for more information. We hope you get to know our organization and help us in creating a more vibrant and resilient organization with your support. If you would like more information on how to get involved please check out our GET INVOLVED page or email us at getinvolved@foryouth.ca
