The FYA Street Compassion Initiative (SCI) is an official outreach arm of Follow Yo Art, Inc., designed to provide direct immediate support to inidviduals experiencing homelessness, addiction, and extreme vulnerability in high-risk areas of New York City. Led by Program Director, MONROE JACKSON, SCI mobilizes trained volunteers and family-based micro-teams to deliver essential resources, build trust, and connect individuals to long-term support pathways.
This program formalizes Monroe's existing grassroots work into a structured, trauma-informed, community-centered outreach model aligned with FYA's mission of healing through art, compassion, and human connection.
Our mission is to meet people where they are - with dignity, care, and hope - by providing essential resources, trauma-informed engagement, and pathways to stability through community partnerships and supportive services.
