The Fight Back Alumni (FBA) was formed in 2003 by the Phoenix Neighborhood Services Department as a support group made up of leaders from previous Fight Backs. The individuals (FBA) who are involved in this group are dedicated to using their talents and past experiences to help newly designated and current Fight Back groups overcome obstacles to reach their milestones.
There is a lot of knowledge to be gained from the FBA and we want to be accessible when you need a second opinion or come to a hurdle that you might need help getting over. Remember, we are in this together. We all have the same goal: strengthening our neighborhoods through revitalization and sustainable efforts.
The Fight Back Alumni has only one prerequisite to receive help: that you are or were active in a Fight Back. We welcome anyone who would like to be involved in sharing their experiences and helping others overcome obstacles to realize their dreams.
