The Flamboyan Foundation is dedicated to enhancing family engagement in education through innovative partnerships and leadership development, primarily serving schools in Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico. By advocating for REAL Family Engagement, they ensure families are equipped with the necessary resources to support their children's academic success, ultimately promoting equitable outcomes for students most impacted by systemic inequities. In addition to their focus on family engagement, Flamboyan actively works to strengthen K-3 reading proficiency in Puerto Rico and sustain the island's arts and culture through collaboration with local institutions and investment initiatives. Their commitment is reflected in the extensive training provided to educators and the support given to individual artists, fostering a thriving educational and cultural community.
