Vision
We are transforming the lives of Young Male Scholars of color from diverse socio-economic backgrounds through engaging Leadership education, training, mentoring, and coaching.
From The Fire
Due to COVID-19From The Fire Leadership Academy’s (FTF) 2021 Programs will be conducted 100% virtually. We will be back in-person in 2022.
2021 FOCUS
From The Fire’s 2021 focus will be on fully developing and implementing its Alumni Weekend Intensive Program, 8th through 10th Grade Weekend Intensive Program and its 11th & 12th Grade Two-Week Program. These programs will all build towards our 2022 plans of getting back In-Person and on campus.
Though From The Fire is a young black male-centric organization we seek NOT to exclude anyone from the education we offer. We promote inclusion as well as value diversity in, sexual orientation, self-identification, ethnicity, and disability. Our curriculum includes education, events, training, and providing resources to help advance these young men personally and professionally. We are intent on creating a collaborative and supportive environment where diversity is celebrated, and individuals are empowered.
