What do you believe we can provide your organization?
The grant will support our Future Leaders Academy for Middle Schoolers (FLAM) program, which improves postsecondary readiness for low-income, first-generation Hispanic students in Sarasota and Manatee Counties.
What will the grant be used for?
The funds will allow for program management and the delivery of engaging workshops/ activities, which will equip students and their parents with the necessary resources and skills to smoothly transition to high school. These opportunities will enhance academic success and empower students to reach their full potential. The specific goals of the FLAM program are to help low-income, Hispanic middle school students gain skills for academic success and course selection for middle school and beyond; prepare them for high school, including post-secondary path exploration; explore careers, including those in STEAM; and to gain life and transitional skills for success in middle school and high school. Our outcome measures include the following key performance indicators:
