My Nonprofit Reviews

This is a true community based organization. Founded in the historically black West Grove, it was an advocate for the citizens in this poor, largely Bahamian neighborhood. The services it provided changed with the times, constantly responding to the needs of the people. Much of the credit goes to Sylvia Jordan who has led this organization for dozens of years. She and a dedicated board of directors have championed the organization and the community it serves. The "Barnyard" has been providing after-school and summer camp programs to dozens of children every year. Some of the "graduates" of the program have gone on to successful careers, and many of the current children are second generation participants. A true beacon in the community, there are many of us that love Coconut Grove Cares.

I have worked in this field for 35 years and never met a more dedicated executive director than Sylvia Jordan
