Why 16 to 25?
FYI - Film Your Issue was created as a youth-directed outreach to encourage young global citizens to participate in public dialogue. It's a way to encourage civic participation in those at a critical stage on the cusp of adulthood who may not have access to the tools and platforms available to older citizens. We see FYI as a fun, dynamic and creative way to help impact the lives of young people and nurture future leaders, be it through film, journalism, politics or other forms of expression.
FYI and SixDegrees.org
FYI has partnered with Kevin Bacon's SixDegrees.org to help raise money and awareness for issues that matter.
