By facilitating access to cash transfer and technology and giving tools to low-wage communities to become entrepreneurs, FLAP empowers 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 low-wage 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 low-wage community.
As a whole, since FLAP was incorporated in 1999, their team had attended more than 17,098 conferences, leadership, meetings and training empowering themselves to empower the low-wage community FLAP is looking to serve in the food supply chain, greenhouse, landscaping, nursery and snow removal industries.
