Brainstorming Your FLI Project - September / October

FLI has a variety of resources to help get your brain thinking about connecting your passion to your action. Check out our round-up from the web.


Program Event: Declare!

Declare! is the first event of the FLI Program Year where new students work with one another from across the Bay to create a manifesto for change that they'll attempt to fulfill during their time with FLI. Click here to learn more.


Identify, Investigate Interact - October / November

Once students have identified a passion and a cause, they work to find community organizations and/or businesses that share their goals, investigate their methods & means and interact with them by reaching out an inviting them to become a community partner with FLI and to attend Mentor Match Night.


Program Event: Mentor Match Night

Mentor Match Night combines FLI Students already researching their project interest with FLI's Network for Change Mentors and community leaders to engage in a structured, one-on-one feedback session in which students receive advice, guidance and information on their area of interest from actual professionals and change-makers.

My Mission Statement - December

One of the most challenging parts of the FLI Program is taking all of your exciting and innovative ideas and turning them into practical steps that you can go out and accomplish. A mission statement helps bridge that gap. Click here to learn more and see examples.


Project Planning - January / February

The key to any successful FLI project is effective planning. Students must submit their project plans to FLI for review and approval by February 19th, 2010. A link for project registration will be available beginning in January.

Another key component of project planning is writing your budget. Each FLI student is awarded a $150.00 grant to help make their project happen. In order to receive their grant, each student must work collaboratively with their team and submit a Team Budget Form. Once approved, funding will be issued. The deadline for Team Budget Form submissions is May 7th, 2010.

If a FLI Guide is in need of funding in advance of FLI Team Budget Submission or is in need of additional funds once the budget has been submitted, then a Request for Check Form can be submitted as well. This form may only be used by FLI Guides & Staff.


Passion to Action - March, April & May

Over 200 FLI Student Projects impacting countless people across the Bay Area and the world will take place as students take this time to put into action their passions and plans from throughout the year. You can check out previous student projects here and see stories from FLI students here. Information on where and when these projects are happening will be posted once projects are registered.
