Our Origins
Founded in 2006, FTLOL quickly gained a steady footing alongside established community partners. FTLOL is recognized within the community as an ambitious, arts-based empowerment and skill-building program which seeks out and values collaboration with its community partners.
How we’re changing the world
Working at street level to engage youth and identify their needs, FTLOL uses non-traditional. arts-based program offerings to enhance creativity and communication skills amongst youth who have lost faith in conventional learning methods. FTLOL provides a safe and productive learning environment with an overall spirit of fun, expression and achievement. Serving youth are at the core of every action and reaction of the organization.
Free, full-time programming, developed in consultation with youth and experts in art, education, and the health sector, is offered to youth at the drop-in center in St. John's.
We also showcase the work of our clients and bring awareness to our organization and youth issues by bringing youth-written, FTLOL-produced theatre productions to towns all throughout the province. The training and experience of the staff allow an ambitious schedule of projects to be completed, while the organizational structure permits flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of its clientele.

The Froude Avenue Community Centre is a facility that is dedicated to providing opportunities and resources for people of all ages and backgrounds, by developing diverse programs and services that encourages citizen involvement and a strong active community while striving to promote the social, cultural, and healthy lifestyles of its residents and visitors.
The idea for the community centre began when Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation (N.L.H.C) initiated a Tenents Relations Program in July 1983, in an attempt to increase and improve communications between the tenants of non-profit housing and the landlord, N.L.H.C. The thrust of this program was, and still is, to encourage the tenants in different housing projects to become more involved in their community.
In effort to meet the above noted objectives, staff of the Tenants Relations Division developed a proposal and submitted it to Canada Mortgage and Housing corporation and the St.John's City Council for a community centre to open at 87-89 Froude Avenue. Since the successful opening of this centre in May 1985, four other centres have been opened: Rabbittown Community Centre (Graves Street); Virginia Park Community Centre (Harding Road); Buckmaster's Circle Community Centre (Navy Street) and MacMorran Community Centre (Brophy Place).
The mission of Froude Avenue Community Centre is:
* to encourage the involvement of tenants in their housing projects through the use of programs and activities implemented through the centre;
* to create a positive atmosphere, community spirit and co-operation;
* to help develop a better social environment by providing recreational, educational and social programs, as well as training and referrals.
