As recommended by the FAFP Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Task Force, the FAFP recently launched a new program called "Caring 4 Communities" (C4C) which involves the Academy conducting service projects in underserved communities.  The inaugural service project was held at the America's Youth Inc. (located in Fernandina Beach but serving the greater Nassau County area) in December, during the FAFP 2022 and 2023 Winter Summits in Amelia Island.  The FAFP helped with painting and landscaping for the center while also hanging out with over 35 kids. FAFP’s resident and student membership led a basic first-aid workshop to help inspire kids and show how it's fun to take care of others.

 

At this time the FAFP will focus on similar, future events during its CME weekends in 2024 and beyond.  Any FAFP members interested in serving as a local champion to help coordinate the FAFP's support of a local community service project should contact FAFP Membership and Workforce Development Director Ashleigh Huff at ahuff@fafp.org.  Special thanks to FAFP Vice President Dr. Chris Scuderi and local champion for organizing the inaugural event in his home community, and all other FAFP volunteers who helped support this special day!
