FLOs are external, voluntary, educational programs that take place outside of the traditional classroom, are aligned to the student's unique interests, and have an explicit career, college, or leadership focus.  We vet and select FLOs using stringent criteria that ensure program safety, quality, and depth of impact.  Providers include non-profit organizations, companies, professional institutions, associations, or undergraduate and graduate colleges and universities.  FLOs involve a voluntary, formative and educational application process and require students to voluntarily seek out the learning experience, and in doing so, successfully navigate through and complete some type of formal application, registration, and/or interview process to gain acceptance. We prioritize and promote only those learning experiences that have an explicit focus for preparing and exposing students to life beyond high school and college or career success. While FLOs come in different configurations of program length, theme and physical location, all programs seek to expose, educate, and develop students’ knowledge, skills, and leadership ability to succeed in college and high quality careers.
