Family & Youth Initiative (DCFYI) welcomes eligible volunteers to serve on our Nominations Committee. We are seeking volunteers who are 21 or older with an interest in helping our team find potential members for our Board of Directors and its committees. The Board committees provide an opportunity for volunteers to become familiar with Board activities and initiatives and to prepare them for possible Board membership. Nominations Committee v olunteers would commit to serve for at least a one-year. The committee "meets" virtually once per month at a mutually convenient date and time determined by the committee members.
We are seeking Nominations Committee volunteers who are willing to help maximize the potential for recruiting potential Board and Board committee members and explore new opportunities to help grow DCFYI. The Nominations Committee provides volunteers a great opportunity to support DCFYI and its program participants. Please reach out to info@dcfyi.org if you are interested or have questions. Thank you!

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.
