About the Charity

FAN has been leading with love since 2005, serving as a safe place and home for youth and families in Ward 8 who may be impacted by the child welfare system. It runs the only youth Peer-Operated Center in the District, a drop-in community hub that houses an open pantry with prepared meals, fresh produce, and other essential items. After school and in the summer, certified peer specialists engage youth ages 9�16 in trauma-informed programming while offering their caregivers and alumni (ages 16�28) ongoing support and connection: targeted case management, referrals, cultural and recreational activities, and more. 80% of FAN's participants graduate from high school and 81% gain employment � but most importantly, they each experience consistent care, love, and safety from a supportive community of adults. Want to make a deep impact where it's needed most? This is the place.
