Dedicated to the youth and families of Washington Heights and Inwood since 1993.
Fresh Youth Initiatives empowers youth with the support, encouragement, and skills they need to become productive, confident, and caring citizens.
We envision a community where every child has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Founded in 1993 by a group of concerned community members, FYI started as a small volunteer effort to provide safe after-school activities for local youth.
Over the past three decades, we have grown into a comprehensive youth development organization, serving thousands of children and families each year through academic support, mental health services, and community engagement programs.
