Youth Futures Authority Partners
The Chatham-Savannah Youth Futures Authority (YFA) is also comprised of organizations, agencies, and other institutions that serve as partners in our work. Some of these partner agencies have representation on the collaborative board, although this is not a requirement. Partner agencies are encouraged to have some involvement in the work to improve the condition of children, youth, and families, as well as have something to contribute to the Authority to assist in its work.
