“Learning for Success changes the way students experience school by organizing the curriculum, instruction, and guidance services around their strengths, skills, interests, plans and dreams.”
Gastrid Harrigan, Principal at Cypress Run Education Center
My Future Is Now (MFIN) is the next evolution of the KAPOW Program. The overarching mission of MFIN is to ensure that students acquire knowledge and skill sets required for successful adulthood. Our goal is for every student to have a vision of a successful future and to view school as a place to make that vision a reality.
To accomplish this goal, Learning for Success has developed a whole new set of lessons for volunteers in grades 6-9, utilizing the latest research in self-efficacy (one’s belief that you can succeed), and resiliency (the ability to overcome obstacles).
Starting with the 2023-24 school year, the KAPOW and MFIN Programs are being run independently by schools in Broward and Miami-Dade County.

While they are based on the same themes as the traditional KAPOW curriculum, MFIN’s lessons incorporate specific/new conversational techniques and methods for engaging students, and specific activities correlated to Reading, Language Arts, and Math instruction.
With each lesson, we want the students to always know what they are learning, not “doing”, why it is important to know, and how they can use it when they leave school. If this occurs, students will rarely ask, “Why do we have to learn this?” They will know why.
