This year, we launched our new 8 Pillar Impact Curriculum, designed to equip girls with the tools, confidence, and focus they need to thrive in every area of life. Rooted in purpose and identity, the curriculum guides students through eight key areas of growth: Faith, Love & Youth (FLY); Purpose, Identity & Character (PIC); Emotional Health; Healthy Relationships; Conflict Management; Finances; Entrepreneurship; and Impact.

Through hands-on learning, students will discover their purpose, build character, and develop practical life skills. Each participant will learn how to write a business plan, establish and manage a budget, open a bank account, and even operate their own business during the school year. Our goal is to create pathways for girls to secure startup funding, internships, and scholarships in partnership with major corporations and community organizations.

While expanding our focus on leadership and entrepreneurship, we remain deeply committed to developing emotional, spiritual, and physical wholeness. Every lesson is designed to empower young women to be FLY—inside and out—faithfully, lovingly, and youthfully whole.

Launching in 2026, the FLY Life Apprenticeship and Career Readiness Program is designed to prepare young women ages 16 to 25 for real-world success through hands-on experience, mentorship, and career development. This initiative bridges the gap between education and opportunity by partnering with industry leaders, companies, and career experts who are committed to investing in the next generation of female leaders.

Participants can choose between two transformative tracks: a Real Estate Development Apprenticeship and an On-Site Trade Certification Program. The Real Estate Development Apprenticeship offers young women the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in property development, community building, and investment—with the potential to earn equity in real projects. The On-Site Trade Certification Program provides certified training in skilled trades, giving participants the tools, credentials, and confidence to step directly into high-demand, sustainable careers.

Both programs are built on FLY Life’s mission to empower girls to be FLY—inside and out—faithfully, lovingly, and youthfully whole, while equipping them to create wealth, ownership, and long-term impact in their communities.

My business has been going good, over the summer I hosted a back to school event and I launch new products every other month and restock every 2 weeks. Fly Life really impacted me by helping me stay consistent, creative and motivated with my business. I’m very grateful!

I am still in business, and it’s thriving better than ever. The $500 allowed me to supply myself with more supplies, fund market fees, and give me a comfortable cushion when it came to unexpected costs or fees. After the business pitch, I successfully sold out when I brought items to sell on campus during Valentine’s week due to my exposure and appealing work. I was able to branch out and expand my community and have tons of regular customers thanks to the event and scholarship.

FLY is a safehouse for young ladies who are surrounded by bodies of negativity and insecurities. FLY taught me not to be the woman who needs a man but the woman a man needs. FLY taught me to love myself because nobody could love you or believe in you until you decide to feel those things for yourself first. FLY taught me that i can't change what happened to me and that I shouldn't because my test is my testimony and I could use whatever I went through to make me stronger, wiser, and to uplift someone else.
