FYP-DC Board Wishes You Happy Holidays!
Just before 2019 closes out, the 2019 FYP-DC Executive Board and Board of Advisors came back from their annual board retreat with refreshed minds full of great ideas for 2020!

The executive board and advisors learned a lot of skills from workshops that focused on effective communication and emotional intelligence. If you are interested in these kinds of workshops, feel free to let us know!

FYP hopes that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with your family and friends. We are so thankful of you and your support throughout 2019 and through all these years to our organization. We hope to bring more fun events and great resources for the community in the following years to come!

FYP-DC Cultural Programs Launching in 2020!

FYP-DC Cultural Programs
Join Our FYP-DC Facebook Group!
The people have spoken! Our board was considering ways in which we could help our FYP family stay in touch beyond our events. There was a lot of interest from our members regarding an established virtual platform, so we created a Facebook Group for FYP-DC and friends! This will be a space where we encourage open discussion and building an interactive online community. Make sure to click on the link and join today!
