What is the Flagship Program?
The
Flagship Program is a community-school partnership that provides
skill-building non-school hour opportunities for over 7,500
Missoula youth per year. Activities are designed to enhance
youth’s academic, social and cultural development to help them
succeed in school and become productive adults .
Through our partnership with MCPS, we strive to bring
community resources to Franklin School. Flagship programs
currently exist in all Missoula high schools, middle schools and
three elementary schools.
Turning Point, a subsidiary of Western Montana mental Health
Center, administers Flagship. Working with children during “at
risk” hours, year round, we provide programs in mentoring,
service learning, fitness, creative arts, and more. We receive
funding through a variety of federal, state, and local sources,
both public and private. This allows us to offer programs to the
children “free of charge”.
The Flagship activities planned for this session are well
rounded with something for everyone. Your ideas, suggestions,
comments and/or time for volunteering will be greatly
appreciated. Let’s work together to make Flagship fun, engaging
and a positive experience for the kids and volunteers.
