NEIGHBORHOOD TUTORING PROGRAM
FLOC SCHOLARS PROGRAM
LEADERS IN ACTION AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM
FLOC’s Neighborhood Tutoring Program (NTP) continues to
provide better outcomes for DC youth by matching them
with dedicated volunteers. This powerful combination allows
FLOC to leverage proven intervention curricula with the
one-on-one attention of a volunteer tutor. NTP was able to
extend its program to a new site at Jubilee Housing Center.
The FLOC Scholars Program serves students in grades
6-12 and beyond, helping them gain the skills needed
to graduate from high school, pursue higher education,
and succeed in college and career. Through weekly
workshops, individualized academic advising, distance
learning seminars, and professional development
workshops, students are exposed to experiences,
information, and activities that build persistence skills to
help them progress through their educational journey
and into a chosen career.
During the 2014-2015 school year, the Outdoor
Education Center (OEC) served a total of 45 students
– 21 at Charles Town Middle School and 24 at Harpers
Ferry Middle School. The focus of the program is civic
engagement, healthy lifestyle choices, environmental
advocacy, teambuilding, and leadership development.
The additional students served by this program meant
that, in total, 382 students were served in FLOC’s tutoring
program. These students made an average of one year’s
grade-level improvement after just three and a half months
of steady tutoring. NTP is excited to continue serving more
students and secure better outcomes for all DC youth.
Results like the ones listed show the potential of this model.
1 out of 4 students
In NTP Math programs closed
their gap completely, progressing
to their proper grade level.
1 out of 5 students
Made at least two years of
grade-level improvement.
6 out of 10 students
In middle and high school
narrowed their grade-level
gap in reading comprehension.
SCHOLAR SPOTLIGHT: A’TYRA
FTSF SPOTLIGHT: ALEM
A’Tyra Wilson came to the FLOC Scholars Program when she
was in 9th grade and not planning to go to college. She was
shy and it took her time to warm up to the other students
and staff, who realized that her shyness stemmed from her
being several years behind in reading and math. Because of
these challenges and little support provided by her school,
she considered dropping out. FLOC staff helped her find
another school and connected her to the Neighborhood
Tutoring Program. This year, she’s on the honor roll at a new
school and at FLOC three nights a week. She says “I want to
go to college now. I am thinking about becoming a lawyer.”
Alem Bekele, who initially received the Fred Taylor
Scholarship in Spring 2013, celebrated progress in her
postsecondary journey. With FLOC’s guidance and support,
she successfully matriculated for two years at Northern
Virginia Community College (NOVA) and consistently
earned above a 3.0 GPA, all while working and caring
for her grandmother. She celebrated the completion
of her studies at NOVA and was accepted into Virginia
Commonwealth University (VCU), a four-year institution. She
is looking forward to continued success, with the goal of
earning her bachelor’s degree and starting her career.
During the 2014-2015 academic year, FLOC Scholars
served a total of 184 middle school, high school, and
postsecondary students.
100% on time graduation rate
for high school seniors
The after-school program offers experiential
opportunities and lessons the students would not
otherwise learn about in their typical school curricula.
One highlight was the third annual Spring Break trip
for students. The students visited two local farms and
the Global Village in Sharpsburg, Maryland.
73% of
students
Improved their
knowledge of
geography and global
cultures and traditions.
89% of
students
Improved their knowledge
of environmental and
sustainable living
practices.
100% of
students
Participated in a
civic project making
ornaments for local
nursing home residents.
FRED TAYLOR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
SUMMER CAMP
This year, FLOC awarded seventeen students the
Fred Taylor Scholarship. The scholarship is an award
for up to $2,000 that students can renew for up to
five years while they are pursuing their postsecondary
degree. The scholarship winners will attend a wide
variety of postsecondary institutions, including The
George Washington University, Towson University, and
Montgomery College.
One of the things that makes FLOC unique is our Outdoor
Education Center. We give our students the opportunity to
attend camp for free every summer. This year we piloted
a “Non-Cognitive Camp” with our high school Scholars
students. This three-day camp encompassed various
workshops to develop non-cognitive skills such as optimism,
perseverance, adaptability, and intellectual curiosity. From the
post-tests and conversations with the students, we learned a
lot about the program, and their feedback will help us create
an even more powerful experience for future participants.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT:
NICOLE MURYN CLEMENT
Nicole Muryn Clement knew not long after moving to DC that she
wanted to give back to her new community. Nicole could tell that
FLOC was different, as they wanted to do more than “homework
help.” She has continued to volunteer at FLOC because of the
organization’s constant work innovating how it teaches students.
She believes FLOC’s revamped math curriculum has made a
positive difference in students’ ability to learn and progress. It’s
this commitment to improvement that makes her believe in FLOC
and continue to volunteer. She is amazed by the perseverance and
commitment the students have to learning, and she enjoys seeing
students improve as they progress through FLOC’s programming.
