FISHERS YOUTH INITIATIVE

Welcome to FYI

Fishers Youth Initiative (FYI) ensures that every young person in our community has the opportunity and support to build a positive future by connecting them with a network of compassionate volunteers and programs.

About Mentoring

FYI pairs adult mentors with Hamilton Southeastern students for weekly one-on-one meetings to build relationships and support healthy youth development.

Volunteer

There are short and long term volunteer opportunities to support students in the HSE community.

Donate

FYI programs are free for students and families. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on grants, corporate sponsors, and individual donors who believe in mentoring. Join us in making a difference!
