Hangin With A Bud
This program facilitates quality 'one-on-one' time between young adult volunteers and young adults with special needs, affording everyone the opportunity to experience the joy and companionship of friendship. The pair get together in the city on a consistent basis and explore all that NYC has on offer!
FCYA Membership
Due to the uncertainty surrounding the type of programming we will be able to offer as we move into the winter months, all FCYA members who are paying a monthly membership will have those memberships suspended and everyone will be moved to a pay-per-program model. This allows the fees to more accurately reflect the programs being offered and ensures that you are always getting the best value for your money.
