Fishers Youth Initiative (FYI), the recently merged organization formerly known as Youth Mentoring Initiative and Fishers Youth Assistance Program, has begun its search for a new executive director following the resignation of Brittany Rayburn.

Rayburn, who played a pivotal role in guiding the organization through the first phase of the merger, will step down from her role on May 28. She previously served as the executive director of Youth Mentoring Initiative for four years before taking on a leadership role in FYI.

“We’re grateful for Brittany’s steadfast leadership for the last four years as YMI’s executive director, and recently during the transition to become Fishers Youth Initiative,” said Matt Schlueter, Co-President of FYI’s Board of Directors. “As we look ahead, we are excited to bring together critical services and support to youth in Fishers and look forward to bringing in a dynamic leader that can continue to grow FYI’s impact.”

The FYI Board of Directors has established a search committee to identify a new executive director. The position posting is available online, and interested candidates can inquire directly with FYI Co-President Anderson Schoenrock at schoenrock@memoryventures.com.

In the meantime, Fishers Youth Initiative is gearing up for its annual spring fundraiser, Wines Around the World, on Friday, May 16. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available at this link..

As FYI continues to expand its services and outreach, the organization remains committed to supporting the youth of Fishers through mentorship, education, and community resources.
