FICS is looking for members who represent our community in terms of gender, ethnicity, sexual and religious orientation and populations. Ninety-five percent (95%) of our participants are BIPOC.
We began through a series of meetings with community members, students, activists and professionals in 2002. Our first and longest programming is with the farmworker communities of Hillsborough County and across the state. We have branched out as a resource to help other groups perform community strength and needs assessments, most recently with the Front Porch Communities in Orange County.
Currently, FICS is headquartered and operates out of the most diverse part of Tampa, Town n Country (33614, 33615, 33634) and hold board meetings on a monthly basis at 8:30 AM on the third Friday of the month.
We have created an application that takes about 10 minutes to complete. We ask that you first confirm you are interested and available to devote at least 3 hours/month to our board at the outset.
We will respond to all serious inquiries. See our list of skills below!
Bienvenid@s a la familia FICS!

WE are a different kind of organization -- all of our staff, events, volunteers and community advisory board members are focused on helping people help themselves. We at FICS serve as facilitators in assisting community initiatives by working with partners and groups in a way that allows researchers, community members, educators and professionals in the field to interact and exchange information and knowledge.
