Building students' capacity to aspire to any and every career
Tackling generational poverty through high school workforce development
Flare Education’s program is designed to break The Funnel Squeeze, a series of challenges that high school students face when preparing for their future in the workforce
We help students develop foundational skills, build social capital, and improve their financial literacy so that our alumni can find jobs with gross annual income at or above $60,000
Our Students
Our students reside in the Greater Boston area and attend one of our 8 partner schools. They spend 36 months with our team building durable skills and each receives 3 separate internship experiences at Greater Boston-based employers
Our Employers
We partner with top employers in the Greater Boston area by working with key executives, department heads, internship supervisors, and other culture carriers to host internships and engage in volunteering
Our partnership model focuses on building participants’ management skills through training and building employers’ cultural competency
Our Volunteers
We provide caring and compassionate adults with unique opportunities to build meaningful relationships with students in our group mentorship program, tutor students on durable skills during workshops, and serve as panelists and coaches during our networking events
Our volunteering programs focus on creating win-win opportunities for career professionals to both drive impact for students and also learn skills related to mentorship, apprenticeship, management, and inclusion
