FIU Education Effect is a strategic partnership addresses pressing educational and social needs of students from elementary through high school and beyond. The partnership is designed to impact “whole child, whole school, and whole community” through strategic collaborations that increase the collective capacity for all children to succeed and thrive in education. Special thanks to Dr. Donnie Hale for seeing the value Affirming YOUth can add to this strategic partnership.
Affirming YOUth will focus on building life skills, promoting positive youth development, identifying and addressing individual student needs, and sustaining engagement via opportunities for interaction with peers and key family members.
This partnership will allow Affirming YOUth to expand its capacity to engage and foster positive relationships across various youth contexts by connecting youth and families to tackle risk-related challenges.
