Host a Small Event

We hold many small events (games, crafts, cooking) for teens and adults (usually around 10 people total). Small events are opportunities for adults and teens to have fun and get to know each other in a smaller setting than our typical DCFYI events. Most small events are held in someone's home or other setting an individual has access to and makes available to us. Do you have space and would you host a small event for us?

Example idea: Hosting a "Pamper Party" - an opportunity for some teens and adults to learn about skin care and entrepreneurship and have some fun. The host would provide space in their home (dining room table maybe) for the activity and also provide refreshments.

About Family & Youth Initiative

Location:

853 New Jersey Avenue,SE, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20003, US

Mission Statement

Family & Youth Initiative (DCFYI) creates enriching lifetime relationships for youth at risk of aging out of foster care. We make a difference in the lives of older children by forging pathways to adoption while building bridges between youth and a community of adults willing to open their hearts and homes.

Description

Family & Youth Initiative (DCFYI) helps older children (12 to 21) in foster care find adoptive families and make lifelong connections with caring

DCFYI focuses solely on helping teens at riskof aging out of fostercare find adoptive families and develop lasting relationships with other caring adults. We are unique in that we offer opportunities for adults who are not yet approved to adopt or mentor to meet and get to know teens so that relationships can grow naturally, which is a much more effective way for adults and teens to get to know each other and get comfortable before any formal mentor or adoption match is made.

We are one of very few organizations that create low barrier ways for adults to get to know and help teens in foster care. We encourage creative responses to the needs of individual teens and abilities and availability of interested adults.
