FLY, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial assistance and after-school programs to underrepresented high school and post-secondary youth, recently took their mission to the next level by launching an outreach initiative in Edmonton.


On March 11th, the FLY team made a memorable trip to the city to distribute laptops and meal vouchers to deserving youth, providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed.


The FLY Project believes that all youth should have access to the resources and support they need to reach their full potential. This includes financial assistance for education and after-school programs that help youth build essential skills and develop social connections. FLY is committed to supporting newcomer and underrepresented youth, recognizing that these groups often face additional barriers to success.


The outreach initiative in Edmonton reflected FLY's commitment to positively impacting young people's lives. The laptops and meal vouchers distributed by the FLY team will help provide the necessary resources for youth to thrive academically, and the after-school programs offered by FLY will support their social and emotional well-being.


FLY's mission is particularly important in light of the youth's challenges in the past year, with the pandemic creating additional barriers to success. By providing resources and support, FLY is helping to ensure that youth in Edmonton have the tools they need to succeed despite these challenges.


FLY's outreach initiative in Edmonton demonstrated the organization's commitment to supporting underrepresented youth. By providing laptops and meal vouchers, FLY ensures that young people can access the necessary resources to succeed. The after-school programs offered by FLY provide a valuable opportunity for youth to develop essential skills and build social connections. FLY's work is positively impacting the lives of youth in Edmonton and beyond, and we can't wait to see what they will achieve next.
