Lee Next Step Fund
Description
The Next Step Fund is a non-profit organization committed to connecting at-risk youth to life-changing educational opportunities beyond the traditional classroom. Fantastic Learning Opportunities™ or “FLOs™” is the name of our signature program which encompasses the myriad of college- and career- preparatory experiences available beyond the traditional classroom. FLOs™ are offered by a range of community entities outside of high schools, including: non-profit organizations, colleges/universities and professional associations. Many of these life-changing youth-development programs are summer programs, but a growing number of them occur during the school year on weekends and evenings. Opportunities range from career-immersion experiences in engineering, medicine, finance, and law, to leadership development conferences, college-level enrichment camps, and more. FLOs™ are critical for students as they push them beyond their comfort zone to learn and develop in new settings with new people taking on new challenges. FLOs™ propel students’ social-emotional development, contributing to a more positive sense of self, sense of opportunity, and hunger for leveraging education to accomplish much more informed career goals and dreams.
