Families: 10 Charities: 3 Organizations: 3

 The FYFL/FYCL, Fernley Youth Football League and Fernley Youth Cheer League, is a Youth Tackle Football and Cheer organization for all children between the ages of 5 and 14. The FYFL/FYCL works closely with the high schools as a feeder program. We work with athletic directors and high school coaches to ensure our players and cheerleaders are learning skills that will benefit them as they transition into high school sports. Our participants are divided into teams based on age level as of July 31. The idea behind this is to keep kids together that will be playing and cheering together in high school which brings many benefits to the participants, parents, and the high schools. The sooner children engage in the program, they are able to strengthen and sharpen their skills over the course of many years as opposed to trying to “catch up” when they reach the sport in high school.  

Awaken conducts outreach and provides direct services to women and girls to help them transition out of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE). Nearly all victims served by Awaken have had a history of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.

We help program participants with long-term and emergency needs including basic outreach, mentorship services, counseling, transitional housing, transportation, financial aid for college, legal and medical assistance, drop-in center and much more.
