Friends, I am deeply committed to supporting Empowering Youth and Families Outreach (EYFO) for the following reasons:
1. EYFO's mission is to support academic success, build positive character traits, and support the youth we serve in pursuing their life goals. EYFO provides extensive programs and services to over 5,000 youth and their families, including College and Career Readiness, STEM, Financial Literacy, and Youth Entrepreneurial Programs. EYFO's multifaceted programs raise resilient leaders and empower them to achieve their dreams.
2. EYFO's College and Career Readiness program is particularly impactful, emphasizing opportunities that can assist young people in achieving their goals. EYFO helps them search and apply for college and scholarship opportunities and takes them on college and university tours. Over the years, EYFO's College and Career Planning Program has taken 69 youth to Los Angeles, New York, Hampton, and Washington, DC, on college tours. In 2022, EYFO awarded 12 scholarships to eligible high school seniors who were EYFO alumni and planned on attending a two or four-year accredited college or university.
3. EYFO is committed to community involvement and engagement in making positive changes one child at a time.
