FCG students will:

Engage in meaningful conversations and activities about the transition to high school including stress management, friendship, mental health, and substance use.
Learn about human service needs in our surrounding community
Volunteer with local nonprofit organizations
Work with TCF group leaders, high school mentors and a licensed clinical social worker
Learn about TCF’s two student groups for 10-12th graders, the Youth Asset Team, and the Youth Community Fund

Meetings were engaging, and I learned about challenges our neighbors face such as hunger and immigration issues.

My favorite part of FCG was volunteering and learning about nonprofits.

I liked learning about the differences between Youth Asset Team and the Youth Community Fund.
