We are not simply investing in programs or services. We are investing in people, strengthening families, and helping build a future in which dignity, opportunity, and hope can be passed from one generation to the next.
Why we exist
Every young person deserves someone who shows up for them on purpose.
Many young people grow up without one of their parents. The parent raising them is often working hard, sometimes in more than one job, to keep the family going. These young people do not lack ability or ambition. What they often lack is the extra guidance, encouragement, and opportunity that help a dream become a plan.
That is where FPI Global comes in. We stand beside these young people, and beside the single mothers and fathers raising them, so that no child’s dream is limited by the circumstances of their family.
Illustrative imagery
When a young person has a mentor
they gain a trusted adult who believes in them, holds them accountable, and helps them see what is possible.
When they discover their passion
they begin to see that their circumstances do not have to determine their future.
When they build real skills
in learning, money, leadership, and character, their dreams gain a practical path forward.
When they succeed
their whole family is strengthened, and they become leaders who lift others in turn.
“You are not the problem in your family. You are the plan. We will show you how.”
Our mentorship
Everything a young person needs to turn a dream into a future
Our mentorship develops the whole young person: who they are, what they can do, and where they are going.
Discover Their Passion
Structured activities that help each young person uncover and develop hidden talents, strengths, and interests, academically, creatively, and entrepreneurially.
Academic Boost
Targeted tutoring support for young people who need it, helping them build confidence in the classroom and stay on track for their goals.
Financial & Income Skills
Money mindset and responsibility, skill-based income pathways, entrepreneurship, career readiness, and long-term wealth and legacy thinking.
Leadership & Character
Growth in discipline, responsibility, and purpose, preparing young people to become confident leaders and positive contributors to their communities.
A Safe, Supportive Community
A place where authenticity replaces pretense, confidence replaces fear, and purpose replaces limitation, surrounded by peers who share the journey.
How it works
A steady rhythm of support, all year long

What makes FPI Global different
We see beyond the challenge. We see the young person and their future.
No young person should be defined by the circumstances of their family. Behind every challenge is a young person with dignity, a story worth understanding, and a future worth investing in.
-
01
A young person who seems unmotivated may not lack ability, only the encouragement and opportunity to see their own potential.
-
02
A child growing up without a father or a mother may be missing a steady role model, not the will to succeed.
-
03
A teenager whose parent works long hours may carry responsibilities beyond their years, and deserves someone in their corner too.
-
04
We never replace the parent. We partner with them, standing beside their child so the whole family grows stronger.
Rooted in compassion. Guided by professionalism. Focused on lasting impact.
Compassion
We listen before offering solutions and see the person behind every need.
Professionalism
Screened mentors, documented check-ins, and clear standards in everything we do.
Cultural responsiveness
Every young person and family is met with respect for who they are.
How we keep youth safe
Every parent’s first question deserves a clear answer
Our safeguarding standards apply to every mentor, coach, volunteer, and board member who has contact with youth. No exceptions.
-
Background checks
Washington State Patrol and national criminal checks plus references for every adult, renewed every two years.
-
The two-adult rule
No mentor is ever alone with a youth, in person or on video. Monthly gatherings are always group events.
-
No private channels
Check-ins happen on a program platform where parents can see every conversation. No personal numbers or social media.
-
Documented check-ins
Every contact is logged with date, duration, and topic, protecting both the young person and the mentor.
-
Mandated reporter training
Every mentor is trained and documented, with a written escalation path to a named safeguarding lead.
-
Signed code of conduct
Signed by mentors, youth, and parents, covering gifts, transport, social media, and photography.
-
Proper insurance
Liability and abuse-and-molestation coverage that names mentoring minors and our monthly gatherings.
-
An independent concern route
Parents can raise a concern with a second, independent contact, never only through the mentor it concerns.

Our commitment to future generations
What we strengthen today becomes the foundation of tomorrow.
A young person who receives mentorship may grow into a leader who creates opportunity for others. A child raised with encouragement may one day offer that same security to their own children. That is the legacy we are working toward.
- One mentor
- One young person
- A stronger family
- Future generations
The greatest investment we can make in tomorrow is to recognize the value of young people today.
Get involved
Join us. Support us. Help raise the next generation of leaders.
Young people, single mothers and fathers, mentors, sponsors, churches, and employers are all welcome. Tell us how you’d like to be involved and we’ll be in touch.
