Some event ideas include:

  • Online Speaker Series for Teens

  • Black History Month Workshops

We’ve got virtual and in-person options – check them out here.

Requests for projects under $5,000 can be submitted to your District Education Co-ordinator at any time. Our next big project deadline is April 16, 2021.

As a reminder, the FCEF is open to contributing locals. For information on how to join, please visit: http://usw.to/3m7.
