Every youth participating in a CTYE program is encouraged to enroll in FIG. This program will help the organization keep track of each youth’s evolving needs and ambitions. As the youth’s needs and ambitions are discussed, the program will serve as a filter that will recommend which secondary programs of CTYE will best fit the youth.
