Le Flambeau Foundation , November 1, 2024
The Le Flambeau Foundation is excited to announce the launch of its 16th year of THE SPARK of Le Flambeau program on November 2, 2024. This online English discussion platform empowers youth in and from Haiti (up to 27 years old) by providing the educational access and opportunities that come with learning English, and fostering global connections. Developed collaboratively by young people in both the U.S. and Haiti, THE SPARK of Le Flambeau has helped countless participants achieve their academic and professional goals, including securing scholarships, advancing their careers, and inspiring future generations of Haitian leaders.
This Fall 2024, THE SPARK of Le Flambeau is pleased to introduce its first-ever class exclusively for young ladies. This five-week session, led by the popular facilitator and English Grader Ms. Alexis Floyd, will run from November 2nd to December 7th, 2024. In her sixth session as English Grader, Ms. Floyd will lead engaging discussions, empowering participants to improve their English language skills and open doors to exciting educational and professional futures for themselves and others.
