Welcome to FLITE Center
FLITE (Fort Lauderdale Independence, Training & Education) Center was created in 2009 through a partnership of the Community Foundation of Broward, the United Way of Broward and the Junior League of Greater Fort Lauderdale, with the intent of offering comprehensive access to services for youth aging out of foster care. FLITE Center has become the hub of all support services for our transitioning youth to become successful adults within a safe, nurturing environment that promotes personal growth while developing practical life skills. FLITE Center is Broward County’s one-stop resource center offering all supportive services.
FLITE Center ensures that our youth develop essential skills and competencies in daily living, decision-making and interpersonal communication; crucial modules to begin building their lives as productive members of the community. To achieve these goals, FLITE Center partners with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, corporations and private citizens.
At our Center, we offer a single, convenient point of access to the broad range of services and support systems needed by our youth to become successful adults. Upon arrival at FLITE Center, each youth is assisted with their individual needs in the following programs: education, employment, housing, health and wellness, human trafficking survivorship, resource navigation and system of care coordination.
Our mission is to guide those aging out of foster care and other vulnerable youth for successful transition to independence through education, employment, housing health and wellness, and system of care coordination.
