Empowering Youth for Higher Education

Future Leaders of America Master Achievers (FLAMA) regional club meetings will take place at the local high schools and one regional student council will meet in order to provide students with trainings focused on developing leadership skills, with a special focus on community organizing and youth's role in improving their community. During these meetings, students will learn about "Campus Activism," "How to mobilize People" and "How to be part of School Government." In May, students will take part of a 2-day conference "Navigating the Educational Roads" in which youth and families will explore the educational inequalities, issues to raise consciousness, and empower parents to become advocates of their child's education.
