Our Mission & Vision
Empowering Youth, Honoring Elders, Enriching Community
At F.A.E., we take a proactive approach to mental well-being and the future of our community. Our programs are designed to provide youth with life-changing opportunities to gain essential life skills while fostering a profound connection with themselves, the earth, and the wisdom of elders.
​
We believe that when young people have direct access to learning, mentorship, and care from the elders in our community, it creates a ripple effect of positive impact. Through shared experiences and collaborative growth, participants of all ages and backgrounds come together to learn, grow, and thrive.
​
The benefits of these connections go far beyond the individual. Elders are honored and empowered as their knowledge, skills, and stories are shared and valued. The community becomes a stronger, more united place, rooted in mutual respect and sustainable practices.
​
Our mission is clear: to nurture a vibrant community where kids and youth have direct access to education, connection; and mental well-being and sustainability are at the forefront, ensuring a better future for all.
