What we do who we are News & Media Supporters Careers Financials

FLY works with kids that others won’t because, quite simply, we know what works!

FLY works with youth in the juvenile justice system and those at risk of entering the system in Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda Counties. FLY’s innovative programs provide youth with the motivation and support to change their lives, which creates a safer, healthier, and happier community for everyone. FLY is extremely well-respected by school officials and juvenile justice system staff, including judges, district attorneys, probation officers, public defenders, and police. As a result, FLY staff and FLY youth are regularly invited to participate in conversations about how the system can become more effective and humane.
