The Future Leaders of Our Community (FLOC) was established in May, 2009, by Co-Founder and Executive Director Shawn Wehan in response to the need for a community-based organization that bridged the gap between young professionals and nonprofits. Since its inception, FLOC has partnered and brought greater awareness to more than 350 local organizations, raising more than $1.5 million in donations, serving over 240,000 volunteer hours and engaging over 4,000 young professionals. Its philanthropic online platform called Givsum (“giving summary”), launched in 2015, is a one-stop source for volunteers, nonprofits, organizations and corporations and has raised more than $500,000 for local organizations and causes. What began as a small effort amongst friends in Orange County has grown throughout Southern California and is now operating chapters in San Diego and Los Angeles, with planned chapters in major cities around the country.
“The success found in our personal and business lives is often a direct result of our commitment and service to our community.” Shawn Wehan, FLOC Co-Founder/Executive Director
