Why use Flying Start?

Provide educational materials so kids can learn new skills.

In return for their services, classrooms receive educational items from their wish list.  Classrooms can work towards any educational materials.


Give ALL students an opportunity to succeed.

When a small business chooses a classroom to work on a project, students have the opportunity to create meaningful work for a real, authentic audience.  For some students, this might be the only experience they will have to participate in a real-life project.


Help students develop real job skills.

It is important that students have the opportunity to apply what they are learning in school to real work.  By hiring a classroom, businesses are helping to develop and improve the future workforce.
