Friday Night Live

California Friday Night Live (FNL) programs are all about empowering students and discovering the power of their voice!

What is Friday Night Live?

Tuolumne County Friday Night Live (FNL) Partnership serves as your students' passport to a dynamic realm of fun, learning, and holistic development; as well as alcohol and substance prevention. These youth-lead, youth-focused programs provide a unique opportunity for exploration by seamlessly integrating diverse, equitable educational and skill-building activities into students' school schedules or after school activities. Students have the chance to connect with inspiring mentors, discover new interests, and forge lasting friendships.

 

Don't miss out on the chance to transform your students’ experience into a memorable adventure of growth and exploration, all while actively contributing to the prevention of alcohol and substance use. Tuolumne County FNL works closely with the YES Partnership, a community collaborative of over 30 community representatives dedicated to healthy families and the prevention of drug, alcohol and child abuse that organizes and aids in numerous programs, activities and events.

FNL Youth Mentoring

Help us make a positive impact on Tuolumne County Youth!

FNL Mentoring provides opportunities for young people to be in ongoing, mutually beneficial, caring relationships, which strengthen a young person’s resiliency to challenges in life. The FNL model engages teams of older high school-aged youth to mentor teams of middle school-aged youth in a structured ongoing one-on-one relationship. Counties that participate in Mentoring adhere to certain quality assurance standards while maintaining local creativity, energy and self-determination.

FNL Mentoring Programs...

  • Introduce young people to the concept of volunteerism.

  • Encourage young people to develop programs that are fun and meaningful!

  • Promote messages through shared experiences.

  • Encourage peer-oriented programming (youth-driven and youth-led).

  • Develops skills, such as communication, teamwork, and active listening.

  • Encourage and empower young people as active leaders and community resources.

  • Have broad appeal to diverse ethnic, racial and social groups.

  • Encourage youth to engage in mutually beneficial relationships with peers and younger youth.

The Youth Experience Art Competition

Check out our The Youth Experience Art Competition that showcases art from Tuolumne County Youth! 15 different schools participated in the competition and contributed a variety of mediums including photography, sculpture, paintings, drawings, and more! This project was a collaboration between Friday Night Live, Tuolumne County Arts, and the Sonora Chamber of Commerce. We truly appreciate community partners' support in this effort.
