Exchangites welcomed Family and Youth Initiatives to our new meeting place at the Benham-Pence Student Center on the campus of Wittenberg University. Director Pat Banaszak spoke on how the motto, “Making Our Community Stronger Through Life-Changing Education”, expresses the basic life skills taught to their clients by the organization.
FYI’s programs serve a wide range of ages and life stages. They strive to provide classes that evolve along with the growing needs of our community. Currently, these include:
-
Parenting Network
-
Little Scholars Preschool
-
Real Life…Teen Choice In-School Programming
-
DEFY Teen Mentoring Program
-
GED Preparation
-
Community Connectors Mentoring Programs
-
Community Garden
They would be unable to offer these programs without the creative minds and kind hearts of our highly-skilled employees and volunteer staff, and the generosity of local businesses and organizations who partner with them.
