"How SV2 Impacted FLY" - Christa Gannon of FLY (Fresh Lifelines for Youth)

Christa Gannon is the Founder and Executive Director of Fresh Lifelines for Youth (FLY). Since its founding in 2000, FLY's programs for at-risk youth have drastically lowered juvenile incarceration rates and put thousands of teenagers on a path away from crime and toward college, jobs and community service. Since 2004 when SV2 Partners selected FLY as a grantee, it has grown from a small start up to a nationally recognized organization serving over 3,000 youth each year. Christa's vision, drive, and unwavering optimism have changed the landscape for this often-overlooked population.
