Economic Mobility and Empowerment

December 3, 2025 by Alexandra Sossa

By facilitating access to cash transfer and technology and giving tools to low-wage communities to become entrepreneurs, FLAP empower low-wage communities.

Staff and Community Navigators are hired from the same population FLAP is serving and travel to urban and rural areas reaching out to their own community to connect them with information and resources. They are trained by FLAP and given the opportunity to attend conferences, workshops, presentations and fellowships to have knowledge to pass to their own community.

As a whole, since the organization started, their team had attended 12,098 leadership events.

Four Community Navigators are now FLAP staff when initially they were hired as Contractors.
