June may be over, but we’re still celebrating the incredible impact of two amazing team members!
✨ Keely, our Empower Manager, has been with FFC since 2021. With a calm presence and a sharp focus on solutions, she’s the kind of leader who quietly drives big change. Her ability to meet youth where they are and help them see their own strength is at the heart of our mission.
✨ Daniela, a Senior Advocate since 2022, has a gift for connection. Whether she’s supporting youth or now mentoring fellow advocates, her approach is always real, warm, and deeply genuine. She leads with authenticity and heart, making everyone around her feel seen, heard, and valued.
Keely and Daniela, your dedication and impact are felt every day. Thank you for being such a vital part of our team! #FFCCares #WorkAnniversary #TeamFFC
