Mission

Approach

FOY takes on an intervention approach of befriending youths whose parent(s) are presently or formerly incarcerated,  to celebrate and harness their energy and talent into positive outcomes.  Through activity-based programs we befriend and impart moral values to the youths.  We also create a platform for the youths to re-integrate back to their families and society.
