FYI in the News

"When it comes to sex education, teenagers are often bombarded with misinformation—on television, from their friends and online.

A group of current and former School of Communication students hope to change that.

Recently, they formed For Youth Inquiry, or FYI, a collective of artists, educators and activists who seek to engage young people in a conversation about sexual health and sexual violence through theatre."

support our mission
FYI is made up of a collective of artists, activists, and educators based in Chicago, IL and Pittsburgh, PA. Together, we work to foster positive, safe dialogue with youth and their communities around topics of sexual health and sexual violence. Project US and Can I Hit It? are our two participatory plays.  Project US uses games and audience interaction to invite youth into creative conversations about sexual health. Can I hit it? is a participatory play on sexual violence with music and movement. FYI provides a creative and accessible environment for students to easily engage in an otherwise challenging conversation.  With your support, FYI will positively affect the health and wellbeing of Chicago area youth through an innovative and unique programming approach.
