About FLIP

The Fontana Leadership Intervention Program (FLIP) is founded upon a partnership between the Fontana School Police, City of Fontana, Fontana Police Department, and Fontana Unified School District. The 16 (sixteen) week program offers “at-risk” teenagers an opportunity to experience a unique educational environment which will positively impact the rest of their lives.

FLIP classes focus on topics including:
• Violence prevention
• Drug and alcohol resistance
• Ethics
• Leadership skill development
• Teamwork
In addition, participants will attend daily morning meetings with the school resource officer assigned to their respective schools. Parents of selected students must attend an eight-hour orientation session.

Upon successful completion of the FLIP program, students participate in a formal graduation ceremony which includes a keynote address by a recognized community leader. High school students who successfully complete the program will also earn 5 elective credits toward graduation and become part of an on-going partnership to help ensure their future success.
