First Love Yourself (FLY) aims to provide any necessary services (including, but not limited, to volunteering, donating, educating, advocating, and mentoring) to non-profit organizations who serve women and families overcoming abuse, addiction, homelessness, and poverty to help restore hope and dignity in their lives. Their focus is on creating a societal shift, starting with the TAMS community, on how people think about domestic violence, and raise awareness regarding its cause, relevance, and impact. They want to help marginalized women, who struggle to achieve and maintain dignity and stability, rebuild their lives by giving them a positive self-image and the ability to feel stronger about who they are and what they can do. In addition, by providing these women with education and resources, they also help bridge the gap between the varying classes of women. By working alongside Project Beauty Share® and Genesis Women’s Shelter, they want to contribute to these women’s ongoing and improving success in life. In the TAMS community specifically, in addition to offering volunteering opportunities, they also focus on promoting the message of self-love. They hold informational GAs monthly to provide resources and education necessary, and they oversee the MINTE Project committee which aims to educate individuals about menstruation.
