Tutoring sessions take place weekly on Wednesdays, offering a consistent schedule that fits well with student availability and academic commitments.

By aligning these tutoring sites with the Federal Work Study program, we can:

Because of YOU… this is what the first 3 months of 2026 looked like 💚
✔️ 100+ teens found a safe space every Friday
✔️ 110 students received weekly tutoring support
✔️ Youth explored STEM through hands-on flight simulators & drones
✔️ $33,835 raised to keep these opportunities going
But what matters most isn’t just the numbers…
It’s the student who gained confidence.
It’s the parent who saw their child get accepted into their desired high school.
It’s the community continuing to show up.
We’re proud of the start to this year—and we’re just getting started.
Take a look at some highlights from our First Quarter Report.

A parent recently shared this message after their son completed tutoring with the Ferguson Youth Initiative.
He was struggling with his grades and hoping to get into a specific high school. With consistent support, encouragement, and hard work, his grades improved… and he was accepted. 🎓

Stories like this are why we do the work.
But there are more students who still need help.

At our Ferguson Renaissance Fundraiser on February 21, 2026, one of the most inspiring moments of the night came from FYI alum liahbook. Her message reminded everyone in the room why investing in our youth matters.
When young people are given opportunities, mentorship, and a platform to be heard, they don’t just grow — they lead.

The future of Ferguson is bright because of voices like hers. ✨

Today at Drop-In, our youth didn’t just attend… they took flight. ✈️

Through our partnership with STEM on Wheels, students got hands-on experience using a real flight simulator — learning about aviation, focus, and the science behind takeoff.

Moments like this expand horizons and show our youth that the sky is NOT the limit.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Ferguson Youth Initiative and help us create opportunities that inspire. 💙
