 Friends of Whitney Young and Dr. Kenner invite you to our fun, free Fall Gathering. Park at Whitney Young and walk over to the beautiful Epiphany Center for the Arts. Enjoy some apple cider or a drink from the cash bar, some delicious light snacks and lots of socializing.
Behind every amazing Whitney Young student you’ll find interesting and engaging parents and guardians who want to meet you! Bring another parent, reconnect with friends and meet some new ones! We look forward to seeing you at Fall Gathering! Wednesday, October 27, 2021 Epiphany Center for the Arts 201 S. Ashland Ave, 6:30 – 8:30 PM RSVP here.  Welcome to the Friends of Whitney Young (FoWY) community - a wonderful group of dedicated parents, students, alumni, faculty and staff. Back to School usually means monthly social events and we’re thrilled to be bringing some of these events back to our community this school year. We’re asking the Dolphin Community to support our school through various events and campaigns that FoWY will host throughout the year. “Giving back. Paying forward!” is our slogan and we hope you will join us as we work together for the benefit of all of our children. Look for information from FoWY in the Whitney Young Weekly sent each Sunday night to your email. If you are not receiving the Weekly, please contact sign up here.

Our first meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 8th at 6:30 PM in the Whitney Young Library. For future meetings, visit our website at friendsofwhitneyyoung.org to obtain meeting location and/or login information.  The Annual Fund Our school's namesake Whitney M. Young Jr. said, "Stretch your mind and fly." That's what being a student here is all about and it's exactly what the Annual Fund supports - whether it's giving students a place to express themselves through art, being resilient as an athlete, finding a place to belong through clubs or challenging students' minds through academics. Learn more, see your name on our new donor wall and make your donation here.  Creating Community Gatherings have looked different the past year but FoWY is still committed to building a Purposeful Community among its families, one that continues to celebrate and respect the diversity among us. We want the opportunities in which we interact to be ones where everyone feels welcome and valuable to our school's future. If you have ideas to share or time to give as we launch communication efforts with our Community, we would love to hear from you! Please reach out to Lynne Radomski if you are interested in being part of our Volunteer Team throughout the year.
