About the Organization
Florida Youth At Risk (FYAR) is dedicated to transforming the lives of youth ages 12–25 and strengthening underserved communities through the empowering arts of uplifting, feel-good music and live performance. We integrate accessible arts education with mentorship in financial literacy and mental wellness, helping young people build confidence, resilience, creativity, and collaboration.
Our work centers on two core programs: a Career Mentoring & Music Career Day series that pairs career exploration with financial literacy and mental health education, and a Community Talent Showcase that gives young people a stage and a voice to explore new career paths. Founded in 2024 and based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, we’re a growing organization — and the volunteers who join us now help shape what we become.
Role Summary
We’re looking for a Graphic Design Volunteer to help us build a consistent, professional visual presence across our digital campaigns. You’ll create the graphics that introduce FYAR to new families, funders, and community partners — and, if it interests you, help us build our very first brand guideline from the ground up.
