Students in Educate are connected to the resources they need to succeed in the classroom and to experiences that encourage curiosity and place a value on learning. Students are provided with laptops and other class materials that they need to keep pace with their peers. In addition, students are exposed to college tours and career development with the support of outside community partners.
Through FFC’s online request system, students can request funding or physical resources to help them in the classroom. Students can be provided with a laptop or other physical resources they need for school or other higher learning. Resources are made accessible to students, whether through picking up items at our offices or delivered directly to them by FFC staff. In addition, FFC works to provide funding when available for students who need to cover the cost of resources or learning experiences. Whether it is college textbooks, extracurricular fee support or other unique educational needs, FFC will work with each individual student to ensure access to appropriate materials.
FFC strives to create and provide access to educational experiences in the community. Students are provided with opportunities to tour colleges, learn about state-wide programs available to them, and participate in summer programs to help them stay on pace for the new school year. Exposure to the benefits of an education allows students to place meaning on the work they are currently doing and motivation to improve their skills for a better future.
