PFY collaborates with school and community partners to establish and support effective youth development and health-promotion programs, provide training and technical assistance with emphasis on evidence-based practices, and involve and empower youth. PFY serves as the “backbone organization” for several local community coalitions, coordinating the actions of many agencies and individuals.
