FLON was established in Kansas City, MO in 1996 and incorporated in 1999 by Diana Clemons as a nonprofit corporation. Ms. Clemons met with local leaders, elected and appointed, parents, school officals, community and business leaders. She went to these meetings asking what the youth in the community needed most and how she could serve them. The most critical unmet needs from meetings and focus groups were how to prepare youth for the leadership that the community would need in the future. Also programs that would tech teens to set boundaries from risky behaviours prevention. FLON implements evidence- based primary prevention curriculum education that incluedes alcohol, tobacco, drug, and violence and sexual activity and abstinence education.
