The Family, Community and Youth Development (FCYD) program aims to build the capacity of the local youth, families, and community by establishing a network among governmental and non-governmental organizations to provide a positive environment that promotes volunteerism and teamwork while encouraging the youth, families and community to actively engage in shaping the future of the CNMI. The program provides community-specific and culturally-focused experiential learning opportunities that encourage personal development and build capacity amongst participants in order to foster a desire to learn, appreciate life, lead and meet their full potential.
