Our Programs' Impacts
2019-2020
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Both the Future Leaders Initiative (FLI) and Future Legacies programs have mentorship components.
– Junior mentors are FLI participants and other Concept graduates who mentor Future Legacies participants in their transition from high school to college and career.
– Career mentors are community members and leaders mentor FLI participants in their college degree and career
pursuit.
FLI participants also have opportunities to volunteer as part of the program, which we will be improving in 2020-2021.
