SUMMER YOUTH GALA
On the last night of our Summer Institute, FAM hosts a summer youth gala, an annual event that aims to celebrate the talents and achievements of young people in our community. It is a fun and festive occasion that brings together young individuals from diverse backgrounds to share their experiences and inspire one another. The event will feature a 360 PhotoBooth, music, food and opportunities for networking and socializing. It’s a great way for the youth to connect with each other and contribute to the vibrant spirit of our community.
