Youth Wellness

Our Allignments and Approaches

Fly By Nature Foundation takes holistic approaches on how we engage with youth that participate in our programming. We offer support and resources for parents and caregivers to help them navigate through the obstacles and challenges they face. We create safe spaces for youth to be their authentic selves without any judgement. We want to help improve school culture with the assistance of our Mental Health Professional partners and our Co-Flier Facilitators. We value the voice, ideas and concerns of your youth and give them the opportunity for student led activities apart of our programming. Below are some of our Excel with SEL curriculum alignments and approaches we value.

OUR STORY

VICTOR TERRY, FOUNDER
