I CAN FLY International supports youth in marginalized and under-resourced communities so they will have increased access to educational resources that promote early learning and development; empower the teachers to provide knowledge and skills that lead to improved quality of life, and supply a sustainable rescue and resource center. Newport News Alumnae Chapter members have proudly supported this National program initiative through member donations. (tried to work delicately because we have not consistently supported this initiative)
