October 20, 2020 - The Brewer Foundation will host its first COVID-19 Care Package giveaway on Saturday, October 24, 2020. Future Leaders Program (FLP) staff and faculty will hand out packages to participating students that include an FLP face mask, hand sanitizer, canned goods and other items.
Founded in 2001, the FLP is an academic and leadership development program that serves deserving students from the Dallas Independent School District (DISD). The program provides academic resources and leadership development training to select students, ages 14-18, from economically challenged neighborhoods. Students are chosen for the FLP based on their scholastic aptitude, school attendance, civic involvement, and leadership potential.
A national model of public-private partnership, FLP classes typically take place on the campuses of the program's private school partners – St. Mark's School of Texas, Greenhill School, The Hockaday School and Episcopal School of Dallas. However, due to COVID-19, classes are currently taking place virtually.
