Mission: an equitable sports-based youth development program that develops character, confidence, and coachable qualities to empower youth to lead in our community.

Fit Youth Initiative FYI Logo

FYI is a community center collaboration with the goal of creating a long-term impact in the healthy lifestyle choices of its participants.

FYI aims to increase the level of activity and the consumption of healthy foods by offering consistent, intentional, evidence-based fitness and nutrition programming for children ages 3-18 and their families. Since its inception in 2014, FYI has grown to reach thousands of youth and their families, providing active options, recreational activities, and increasing their physical activity levels and consumption of healthy foods.
