Our Mission
At Findlay Fresh Start, our mission is to educate and empower the Findlay youth community to lead and become confident contributors, cultivating a generation that shapes our community's future.
About Us
Findlay Fresh Start is a youth-led nonprofit organization based in Findlay, Ohio, founded by five local high school students—Hank Walters, Rayanna Cap, Jaylin Patterson, Jason Davis, and Carson Reese—who wanted to make a positive impact in their community. What began as a small project has grown into a full-fledged mission.
With our mission we cultivate confident, capable leaders who will shape the future of our city. Through mentorship, programs, and community support, we give young people the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed. With your support, every youth in Findlay can have the opportunity for a fresh start—and together, we can build a stronger, brighter community for generations to come.
OUR IMPACT
Findlay Fresh Start presenting our mission and projects to the Morning Rotary Club, whose generous $1,000 grant is already making an impact.
The funding supports hygiene kits for the Riverview Terrace project and helps advance our garden box initiative launching this spring in partnership with Habitat for Humanity and local organizations like Children’s Mentoring Connection.
​
These projects reflect our mission to educate and empower Findlay youth to become confident contributors to our community’s future. With continued support, we can expand these efforts, engage more youth, and create lasting change.
