THE FAMCOS STORY

More than a non-profit, FAMCOS is a faith-driven movement dedicated to restoring hope, building meaningful relationships, and empowering youth through mentorship, community service, and unwavering commitment to spiritual and personal growth.

OUR VISION

We contend that this will allow each youth to develop individually into their full potential, and become productive members in our society.

Our History

Fifth Avenue Mentoring and Community Outreach Services (FAMCOS) Inc., is a not for profit organization founded in January 2013 by Deogory T. Harris. Mr. Harris believed that many youth in the local community lacked meaningful spiritual, academic and career guidance. Determined to make a difference, Deogory convened a series of church and community meetings, attended by prominent and influential community activist leaders, clergy and concerned parents. Deogory’s goal was to assist the community in building relationships that empower people, encourage community service, and restore faith in the human spirit. Stepping out on faith, Deogory founded the Fifth Avenue Mentoring and Community Outreach Services Inc. as a not for profit IRS 501©(3) incorporation. Since unofficially opening its doors in 2013, FAMCOS has forged strong partnerships with local business community, school districts, and other youth-serving and social services organizations in the community. Mr. Harris, Executive Director, is humbled by the tremendous opportunity God has given him and looks forward to an enjoyable and blessed future with FAMCOS. The outstanding staff continue to carry out the FAMCOS vision and expand the scope of program services.
