WASHINGTON (March 9, 2023) – For Love of Children (FLOC), a longstanding nonprofit organization that provides free educational services for students in Washington, D.C., announced that LaToya Clark has been named as Executive Director, effective immediately.
Ms. Clark brings more than 17 years of experience as a nonprofit leader and business operations professional to the position.

Since its founding, FLOC has served more than 10,000 students in D.C. Under Ms. Clark’s leadership, FLOC recently secured a new partnership with The Adams Morgan Community Center that will significantly increase the number of students it serves each year.
“I could not be more grateful to accept this role as Executive Director of an organization that I love so much,” said Ms. Clark. “I am committed to working tirelessly alongside our talented team members and dedicated volunteers.
