Overview
Mission
Creating partnerships for positive and healthy youth development
What it reported doing in 2024
The Friday Night Live program is designed for high school-aged youth. Activities are organized by youth to appeal to youth. Dances, haunted houses, community service and social action activities, movie nights, and participation in advocacy for safe and healthy environments these, are just some of the activities that FNL youth both participate in and organize. One of the most distinguishing aspects of Friday Night Live is youth involvement in mentoring. In FNL, high school-aged youth can act as mentors and tutors to middle school and elementary school students. FNL mentoring activities provide opportunities for young people to engage in ongoing, mutually beneficial, caring relationships which strengthen young people to face today's challenges.
