For Love of Children

Our Mission

For Love of Children is a 501(c)(3), community-based nonprofit organization that has been working with young people and their families in Washington, D.C. since 1965. FLOC’s mission is to provide educational services beyond the classroom to help DC students succeed from first grade through college and career. FLOC leverages a network of professional staff, trained volunteers, engaged families, and active community partners to teach, empower, and transform students’ lives. Almost 600 students access FLOC’s after-school, weekend and summer programs at public schools across DC, in FLOC’s headquarters in Ward 1, and at FLOC’s Outdoor Education Center in West Virginia.
