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.
