STORY #3: The Birth of Fly By Light

The birth of the Fly By Light youth program was the midway point; it was the decision to focus our energy and place all of our efforts toward one program. In this way we stopped spreading ourselves thin by trying to do everything, and instead kept our energy focused on just doing one thing really really well. Through a year long strategic planning process in 2010, we placed and invested everything we learned—as an organization and as leaders in an organization—into the birth of Fly By Light. The last 10 years have been the result of, or, maybe better to say, the second phase of the organization’s history and the fulfillment of that strategic plan.
