We’re often asked, “How do you recruit your volunteers?”

The answer is simple: We don’t do it alone.

Partnerships make our mission possible, and organizations like play a major role in connecting FLOC with dedicated volunteers who help our students learn, grow, and thrive.

To our friends at congratulations on recruiting 467 volunteers for the month of May and thank you for believing in our work and helping us build brighter futures, one volunteer at a time.

Hear from Khalin’s dedicated nurse about how FLOC’s educational support has helped him grow and succeed in school.

This is the impact of community.

Today we celebrate the educators who do more than teach, they inspire, uplift, and transform futures. 🍎

At FLOC, we’re proud to stand beside passionate educators who show up for our students.

Happy National Teachers Day to those shaping not just classrooms, but generations. 💛

✨ May the 4th Be With You ✨

Today, our Pathways teens tapped into their creativity… and their courage.

What started as a fun Baby Yoda drawing challenge turned into something bigger:
💚 Confidence
💚 Self-expression
💚 A moment to be seen

One of our students stepped up and proudly shared her artwork, and that’s the kind of growth we celebrate.
Because at FLOC, it’s not just about what students create…

it’s about who they’re becoming.

Legacy isn’t just remembered…. It’s lived.

We were honored to celebrate the reopening of Ben’s Chili Bowl, a place rooted in culture, resilience, and community.

Founded by Ben & Virginia Ali, this iconic establishment continues to stand as a symbol of what leadership and vision can build.

While Ben’s legacy lives on, we also celebrate Virginia Ali, a true trailblazer and recipient of the FLOC Torchbearer Award for Leadership Development. 🔥

FLOC’s Executive Director and Deputy Director were proud to be present for this moment.

This wasn’t just a reopening.
It was a reminder of what it means to build something that lasts.

Helping teens find their path, their voice, and their confidence 💫

At FLOC, we’re not just supporting academics—we’re showing up for our teens in every way that matters. The high school years can be overwhelming, but with the right guidance, community, and opportunities, our teens don’t just get through it… they grow through it.

This is your reminder: our teens need support, safe spaces, and people who believe in them. And that’s exactly what we’re building here every day. 🤍

Know a teen who could benefit? Send them our way.

💻✨ Learning, connection, and community—all in one room.
At FLOC, we believe education is a family effort, and moments like this remind us why.

We’re so grateful for our parents and families who continue to show up, stay involved, and serve as true FLOC ambassadors—spreading the word, building trust, and entrusting us with their most important gift: their children.

Seeing moms engaged alongside our students as they learn, grow, and explore is what community-centered education is all about. 💛

Thank you for your continued partnership, belief, and support. We don’t do this work alone—we do it together.
