ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MULTIPLE PROGRAMS SHAPED UNIQUELY FOR TRADE, TECHNICAL, LICENSING, CERTIFICATE, 2-YEAR OR 4-YEAR DEGREE-SEEKING STUDENTS, THE GOAL IS THE SAME--TO REDUCE SOCIO-ECONOMIC BARRIERS AND INCREASE ACCESS TO POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS OF COLOR IN THE BOONE COUNTY AREA. IN ADDITION TO SCHOLARSHIPS, STUDENTS ARE PROVIDED PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH GROUP MEETINGS, ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS, OR VIRTUAL PRESENTATIONS.

VOLUNTEER MENTORS ARE RECRUITED, TRAINED, AND MATCHED BY STAFF FOR QUALIFYING STUDENTS WHO ARE PARTICIPATING IN OTHER FLO PROGRAMS. MENTORS ENGAGE IN VARIOUS ACTIVITIES THAT CAN INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF THEIR MENTEES' POST-SECONDARY SUCCESS; INCLUDING SOME OF THOSE LISTED ON THEIR MENTEE'S GAME PLAN.

• EMERGENCY & BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCEFLOURISH COMMUNITY SUPPORT SPECIALISTS AND YOUTH SPECIALISTS HELP SUBMIT AND PROCESS REQUESTS FOR EMERGENCY AND BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE FOR FLOURISH YOUTH PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. AGREEMENT PLANS ARE CREATED WITH CASE MANAGEMENT GOALS TO PREVENT THE NEEDS FROM RECURRING, WHEN POSSIBLE. MOST FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM COMES FROM FUNDRAISING EVENTS. NEEDS CATEGORIES INCLUDE EDUCATION-RELATED, EMPLOYMENT-RELATED, FOOD, MEDICAL/PHYSICAL/MENTAL HEALTH, SHELTER/HOUSING, TECHNOLOGY/COMMUNICATION, AND TRANSPORTATION. MEETING BASIC NEEDS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM HELPS ADDRESS BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION IN FLO'S OTHER PROGRAMS, OFTEN BEGINS OR INCREASES THE DEPTH OF ENGAGEMENT, AND ENHANCES WELLBEING OUTCOMES OVERALL. INTERNSHIPS FLOURISH INTERNSHIPS HAVE GROWN INTO TWO STEPPED-PROGRAMS, PREP I AND PREP II, AND ARE OFFERED TO RISING JUNIORS AND RECENT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES EXPERIENCING BARRIERS TO HIGHER EDUCATION OR EMPLOYMENT. THE INTERNS WORK EITHER PART-OR FULL-TIME AND RECEIVE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN A REAL-WORLD, CORPORATE SETTING. PREP I INTERNS WORK PART-TIME AND APPLY THEIR LEARNING TO COMPLETE A SERVICE PROJECT WHILE PREP II GETS MORE HAND-ON EXPERIENCE AT 40 HOURS A WEEK WITH ONLY ONE PROGRAMMING DAY WEEKLY. INTERNS IN BOTH PROGRAMS WALK AWAY WITH AN EMPLOYMENT PORTFOLIO, INTERVIEW OUTFIT, A FUTURE CAREER OR HIGHER EDUCATION PLAN, AND ENHANCED SOFT AND HARD EMPLOYMENT SKILLS. THEIR PERFORMANCE IS MANAGED AND EVALUATED ALONG WITH THEIR FINAL PRESENTATION. UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION, EACH INTERN RECEIVES A SCHOLARSHIP FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS. CASE MANAGEMENTCASE MANAGEMENT IS A WRAP-AROUND SERVICE WOVEN THROUGHOUT ALL FLOURISH PROGRAMS. QUALIFIED YOUTH SPECIALISTS AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT SPECIALISTS ENGAGE, ASSESS, INTERVENE, REFER, MONITOR, EVALUATE, DISCHARGE, AND FOLLOW-UP LONG-TERM WITH FLOURISH PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS AND SOMETIMES THEIR FAMILIES, TO ENSURE BASIC (PHYSICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS) ARE MET AND THAT SERVICES ARE COORDINATED AND ACROSS PROGRAMS OF FLOURISH AND ITS COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

BOONE COUNTY YOUTH MOVE IS A YOUTH-LED EFFORT, WITH UP TO FOUR YOUTH LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE CHAIRS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR STIPENDS, RESPONSIBLE FOR ENGAGING OTHER COMMUNITY YOUTH TO PARTICIPATE IN ITS ACTIVITIES AND MONTHLY MEETINGS ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS. STAFF FROM FLOURISH AND ITS COMMUNITY PARTNERS SERVE AS SUPPORTIVE ADULTS TO HELP YOUTH IDENTIFY AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO LEAD CHANGE ON ISSUES THAT MATTER TO THEM. THE YOUTH'S PRIORITY STRATEGIES INCLUDE PROVIDING PEER-LED LIFE SKILLS WORKSHOPS AND FUN, SAFE ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH AS A MEANS OF PREVENTING YOUTH VIOLENCE. AS FLO TRANSITIONAL HOUSING EXPANDS WITH YHDP, FLO IS SLOWLY BEGINNING TO TRANSITION THIS COLLABORATIVE EFFORT OF MAINTAINING THE LOCAL CHAPTER TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO HAVE MORE CAPACITY FOR YOUTH-LED ADVOCACY/ORGANIZING. THE 2-YEAR GRANT THROUGH BOONE COUNTY FOR YOUTH MOVE FUNDING ENDED DECEMBER 2024.
