What a rewarding experience being able to support students to reach their educational goal. Take Stock in Children (TSIC) is a place where a little time investment pays big rewards. All students need is a little continuous encouragement. I have had two mentee over the past 10 years. The first one is now a college graduate and well on his way in the world. He and his family were most grateful for the support their student got from TSIC. And it is/was so heart-warming for me that I could be useful in his growth. My second mentee is now a freshmen in college and his new adventure is just beginning. If you like helping students in their quest, consider being a TSIC mentor.

This organization is a gem within the community because it provides hope to our youth and I am proud to serve! The Education Foundation of Alachua gives youth an opportunity not only to broaden their education but to connect with mentors who will help and encourage them along the way! No Child left behind because of the Ed Foundation!
The Education Foundation of Alachua County is such a wonderful organization whose mission is to help students in the community. They coordinate mentoring programs to improve student's chance to graduate and go to college, they empower teachers to implement special projects to, again, make a difference in the lives of students and, finally, they make it possible for students to earn scholarship toward their education.
I recommend volunteering and/or donating to the Foundation!
