CURRENT PROJECTS
THE SUMMIT:
MWYF FOSTER YOUTH EXPO
MWYF sponsors several disadvantaged youths in HANDY of Florida’s program, especially those who are close to being “aged-out” of the foster care system, to ensure that they receive assessments, academic planning and evaluations, case management, counseling and academic support.
COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP
FUND
Access to higher education is the best opportunity —and reward— that our organization can offer any foster youth that has emerged victorious from his or her special circumstances and attained a high school diploma. This is why MWYF entered into its strategic alliance with Miami-Dade College Foundation.
COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM
Our quest to learn about our community’s disadvantaged individuals —and the programs that seek to assist them— led us to an amazing organization: the Chapman Partnership, another one of MWYF’s strategic alliances, which operates two homeless assistance centers in Downtown Miami and Homestead.
MY THINGS! DUFFEL BAG PROGRAM
Did you know that foster children may move from one foster home to another an average of 4 to 6 times while in the foster care system —some even more than 15 times— and that they usually carry their belongings in supermarket or trash bags? Not in Miami-Dade County, thanks to donations to MWYF’s My Things! Duffel Bag Program!
SPORTS EQUIPMENT DRIVE
Our quest to learn about our community’s disadvantaged individuals —and the programs that seek to assist them— led us to an amazing organization: the Chapman Partnership, another one of MWYF’s strategic alliances, which operates two homeless assistance centers in Downtown Miami and Homestead.
MWYF NEWS
Our rambunctious “reinguins” are at it again, collecting donations to purchase basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, and other sports equipment to add a little Christmas Magic to the lives of so many disadvantaged children in our community.
Join us from 6 to 8 pm on Thursday, December 5th. at the AC Hotel in Doral for our 3rd Annual Holiday Networking Cocktail and Sports Equipment Drive —and help us make a difference!
