Funded by The Jim Moran Foundation, BankUnited, and private donations, the Education Programs are designed to provide high-quality, culturally responsive education to Palm Beach County low-income families. These programs aim to foster self-sufficiency, promote educational advancement, and enhance the overall quality of life for participants of all ages.

The initiative includes academic tutoring for elementary school students to support their progress in core subjects and bridge learning gaps. It also offers parenting workshops that strengthen family engagement in education and provide tools for effective child development. For adults, the programs include English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), literacy courses, computer skills training, and additional workshops focused on practical life skills and workforce readiness.

Beyond the classroom, the Education Programs feature seasonal activities such as spring and summer camps, holiday events, and enrichment opportunities that support the social-emotional development of children and create a sense of community for participating families. These efforts reflect our commitment to breaking cycles of poverty through education and empowering families to thrive both academically and economically.

This program is funded by Palm Beach County – Department of Community Services (FAA), the Town of Palm Beach United Way, and private grants. It is specifically designed to serve low-income seasonal and migrant farmworkers in Palm Beach County. The program offers services through a long-term intervention model rooted in a comprehensive case management approach. Its objective is to empower individuals and families to transition from crisis to stability by providing consistent support that promotes self-sufficiency and independence.

Program staff collaborate with community organizations and service providers to ensure clients have access to essential resources, including Social Security, disability benefits, unemployment assistance, and food support. Staff also assist parents in navigating the public education system to ensure that their children are properly enrolled in school. Furthermore, clients are referred to educational programs that help them acquire new skills, opening the door to better employment opportunities and long-term economic stability.
