WHAT WE DO

​MISSION AND HISTORY

Moving from childhood to early adulthood can be a battle. We help teenagers prepare for it. The Foundation is home to a family of school-to-work services including Jobs for Florida's Graduates, Girls Get I.T., VOiCE and SUPERB. 

​

Originally founded in 1998, all of our services continue to be available to school districts, community based organizations, charter schools, alternative schools and colleges through-out Florida.

​

Although it's in our name we do not endow funds for the future. Our funds, whether government grants, charitable giving or private donations, go directly back into serving our students. 

​

The Foundation has invested over $20 million in more than 40,000 students navigate the transition from childhood to early adulthood since 2003.
