Kenny Wilcox and Clark Quattrocchi - Mentorship Masters at Family Youth Initiative (FYI)

In this episode of The Spiritual Justice Show — Where inner peace meets collective purpose, we welcome two leaders who embody what it means to invest in the next generation with consistency, humility, and heart: Kenny Wilcox and Clark Quattrocchi of FYI in Chaffee County, Colorado. Kenny, coordinator of FYI’s adult-to-youth mentoring program, has been championing young people for what he jokingly calls his “entire alleged adult life.” Once told in high school that he would someday be a coach, he has grown into exactly that—someone who sees potential, calls it forward, and walks alongside youth with steadiness and belief. His deep love for family and community shines through in the way he approaches mentorship—not as a program, but as a relationship. Clark, Coordinator for the Youth in Action Program, carries that same spirit of connection into his work with middle schoolers and pre-kinders, creating spaces where mentorship flows both ways and leadership is cultivated early. Whether he’s on the river, the trails, or the slopes, Clark brings an energy of movement and engagement into his work—reminding us that growth happens through shared experience. For the past 18 years, FYI has been strengthening Chaffee County through prevention, connection, and community collaboration. Serving families, youth, and the broader community, FYI’s personalized approach blends evidence-based programs with something equally powerful: human connection. Their youth programs provide safe, nurturing environments where young people develop life skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
