The typical FBA employee/volunteer has many goals and vision, however, the biggest of them all is simply, “making a difference in the lives of youths."
The foundation's picture is to create an environment that will meet the needs of most disadvantages that our youths may face. In doing so, our goal and mission is to provide the support they need by offering programs within the organization that is tailored to their needs. In the FBA program, these young men are surrounded by other supportive mentors who share the drive to achieve educationally and exercise their creativity in a way that will help them become successful leaders.
If you are looking to volunteer, mentoring a child is a great avenue. If you want to contribute but don't have the time to volunteer, consider donating to the organization, a program or an event.

Our career dreams program allows our kids the opportunity to experience and explore a specific career of interest by observing an employee perform their work duties at their place of employment. The experience should provide realistic career information the will aid the students in making career choices.
The job shadowing experience may be the first time the student has left the comfort zone of the program and experienced the real world of work. Once getting over any initial shyness, students are enthusiastic learners, eager to listen to new adult role models and grateful for the time the employee spend with them.
