NAFI New York’s mission is creating diverse and innovative services for people as a multi-service agency that provides programming, consultation and individualized support services to youth and families in a variety of community-based settings. The agency was established within the North American Family Institute in 2005 with the ground-breaking Westchester Wraparound program. From there, NAFI NY has grown to be known as a leader in community-based and therapeutic foster care programming for youth and families. The foundation for all of our diverse services and programs are the common values and beliefs known as the Normative Community Approach. It is not a prescriptive model but rather a culmination of our basic assumptions and beliefs about working with people. It forms a framework for building community and empowering people to find their voice.

?? Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day ?? Today, we pause to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on his unwavering dedication to equality, justice, and service. Dr. King once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” In his spirit, we encourage you to think about how you can make a positive difference in the lives of others. Whether it’s through volunteering, lending a helping hand, or spreading kindness in your community, every act of service—big or small—has the power to create meaningful change. Let’s honor Dr. King’s legacy by turning reflection into action and building a brighter, more inclusive future for all. ?? How are you giving back today? Share your ideas and inspire others! #MLKDay #Service #Community #Kindness #NAFICT
