This week's presentation was about the Faribault Youth Empowerment Center (elementary to age 25) "Connect with the present, expand the future!". Ibrahim Khalif presented his mission to create a better world by providing a community-based culture. FYEC is a none profit focused on education, fighting substance abuse and promoting mental health. They hope to create a safe environment which includes everything from education to sports. It is his hope to have a diverse leadership team which reflects our diverse community.
This leadership team will focus on-
-improving reading, math and writing skills
-helping youths build their English-speaking abilities
-help youths gain confidence and motivation
- develop better test taking abilities
Previous events have been held at the library to promote literacy. Ibrahim hope to find a space to host more events in as the program develops.
