Meet the FIST President

Wylie Frederick is a junior at Angola High School and is the 2022-2023 FIST president. Wylie has been in FIST since she was in 7th grade and plans to stay involved throughout high school. She joined FIST because she loves to help people especially in her community and make others happy. Wylie said that seeing people's reactions and smiles is what motivates her to continue to give her time. Wylie's favorite FIST memory was baking pies at a fellow member's house, she thrives when socializing with her peers. Since joining FIST, Wylie says she is much better at public speaking and has learned to interact with all kinds of people in difficult situations. She can now delegate to her peers and grow with them as they navigate youth philanthropy together. She strives to make a difference no matter how little and encourages the other members to do the same. Wylie has expressed to her fellow members her excitement to make an impact on the FIST group this year and give back to the community.
