Foundation For Youth (FFY) has been a community pillar for youth and families across Bartholomew County and beyond since 1928. Its programs are grounded in four cornerstones: Commitment to Learning, Character and Leadership, Positive Identity, and Healthy Lifestyles. The mission of Foundation For Youth is “To Inspire and Enable Our Youth, Our Community.” Staff are certified through the Child and Youth Care Certification Board (CYCCB). Foundation For Youth is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is designated a Platinum Level participant. FFY relies on community support, volunteers, and partnerships to sustain its programs and expand its outreach, and former FFY kids are now local business leaders, educators, medical professionals, public servants, and community organizers.
