What is FEP?

Findlay Enrichment Programs, Inc. (FEP) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization established in 1988.
Members include parents and others concerned with advocating for and supporting educational enrichment programs.
FEP works in partnership with the Findlay City Schools and area businesses to encourage, develop, and coordinate a variety of classes, events, and programs held within the schools and community.
