College Coaching Program

Through our College Coaching Program, FLOC provides opportunities for middle and high school students to build college readiness. Participating students receive one-on-one support with scholarship essays, class assignments, college applications, and individual questions and concerns. On average, students engage in more than 40 hours of coaching with our dedicated staff members.

Graduation, COLLEGE, and CAreer Readiness

FLOC has 9th and 10th graders focus on what it takes to successfully navigate their respective grade level, while also taking a broad view at overall high school graduation requirements, not limited to community service hours, core subject requirements, elective requirements, club and athletic participation requirements. Our staff and volunteers guided students through developing individual plans on how they would approach that year’s requirements and options of how they could obtain any lapsed requirements for students who have a lower grade point average.
 
In addition, to their high school success focus, these students are provided ongoing opportunities to participate in collegiate and career workshops, group discussions and exploratory projects. Upper class (11th and 12th) graders focus on college preparation, targeting scholarship applications, essays, college searches, FAFSA and more. These students complete individual development plans to help aid in keeping them on track for high school graduation and receive coaching sessions with FLOC staff to review and advise on challenges highlighted in their development plans.

Project Based Learning

In the College Coaching Program’s project-based workshops, students explore the intersections of STEM and the Arts as they related to a broader annual theme. Throughout the program, students explore ways to positively impact their neighborhood and community while working towards completing a capstone project.

Students earn community service hours and acquire the skills necessary to become leaders in their neighborhoods and communities. Professional coaches lead students in projects that are designed for students to engage both their peers and community. These projects often take advantage of FLOC’s connections with local universities, cultural institutions, businesses, and other organizations, and open young minds to the wider world around them.

The Fred Taylor Scholarship Fund

The Fred Taylor Scholarship Fund, a For Love of Children endowment, was created to support economically disadvantaged youth on the path to successful completion of a postsecondary education.

The fund was created to honor FLOC’s founding director, Fred Taylor, who recognized the transformative power of education to break the cycle of poverty. Fred envisioned a community in which every young person is empowered to discover and nurture unique talents; graduate from high school; earn a postsecondary degree; and thrive as contributing members of their communities.

FLOC has awarded more than $300,000 in higher education scholarships since 2000.
