Our Partnerships

Your opportunity for change is contingent upon the support you have access to. Without support, we don’t develop resilience when facing difficulty

— Sabrina Gracias, The Ortus Foundation

Our Annual Initiatives

Being underprivileged is not a seasonal condition, it’s year-round issue. As a result, our work is not based on a “let’s do this once and make ourselves feel good”. Out mission is a year-round support for the kids who needs it most.

We undertake five major initiatives each year to serve kids and families all year long.

  • Fence-A-Thon
  • Gear up for Summer
  • Margherita Guzzi Vincenti Clinic
  • The YFC Grant and Scholarship Programs
    • The YFC Community Grant Program
    • The En Garde Merit Scholarship Program
  • The YFC Mentorship Program

You can become part of the spirit and energy that enables us to serve so many by getting involved as a volunteer, financial donor or in-kind donor, or participate in other ways
