Welcome to the Future Leaders of the World Project
Developing Tomorrow's Leaders Today!

Our Mission: 
To empower students with practical life skills, work ethics and financial literacy while simultaneously helping them to acquire and maintain full engagement in the academic learning process.

Picture

We know that many children are still being left behind in spite of the "No Child Left Behind" policies established over the past years. With over one million children dropping out of school each year and the number growing daily, the problem has become epidemic. A major cause for high drop out rates is the disconnect between what teachers are asking student to learn and real life. 

Since fictitious or "cyber" money is used in the project, students of all abilities and performance levels can participate. Such inclusion encourages all students to excel. Getting an education is a lot of work, but no one treats it like a job. In the F.L.O.W. Project, getting an education is treated like a job.  Work now has value because students receive a paycheck* based on the amount and quality of the work done.

* No real money is used in the project .

Objectives
A. Improve the overall GPA for the
 entire student body.
B. Increase school attendance and 
decrease tardiness.
C. Minimize disruptive behavior.

Value to Educators

Participating in the F.L.O.W. Project empowers students with knowledge of the real world and how their education and work habits will affect their daily lives, thus illustrating the importance of mastering the academic process.  Further, it teaches accountability and encourages self discipline. This is achieved without:
  • Loading the teacher down with extra work 
  • Transporting the students to another location
  • Taking away from class learning time

Value to the Student

Upon receiving their cyber checks, the students engage in a number of life skill activities:
  • Balancing check books
  • Paying bills
  • Calculating payroll, 
  • Completing required management reports
  • Performing bank operations
  • Acting as department supervisors
  • Calculating savings needs
       ... and much more.

These activities require the student to develop and use accurate math skills, collaboration skills, customer relation skills, marketing, self management skills and personal finance skills.
