Tia Latimer (a senior at McCluer North High School), Alyssiah Santano (a senior at McCluer North High School) and Khaliah Booker (a senior at McCluer High School) spoke at the Ferguson Youth Initiative’s 2019 Empower Youth Jazz Brunch fundraiser on April 6, which raised more than $30,000 to benefit its youth programs and community service projects.
The youth were recognized for their contributions as graduating Ferguson Youth Advisory Board members. “FYI is to foster good community members among the youth,” Booker said. “You should definitely get involved.”
FYI is striving to forge enduring partnerships with local businesses, organizations and school districts to create more job and internship opportunities for young people. The organization also welcomes and encourages volunteers to lend their talents, time, and expertise.
