Mentoring unleashes each student’s potential!

The Immokalee Foundation matches volunteer mentors with middle and high school students in the Immokalee community, helping to make it possible for these students to reach postsecondary and career success. Mentors meet with their students in-person or virtually during their school lunchtime or after school, contributing their time, attention, and experience while offering hope and optimism for success.

Students in our programs are motivated by the educational opportunities available to them. Each student must meet and maintain specific requirements, including a 2.5 minimum GPA, modeling good behavior, remaining crime- and drug-free, participating in programs, volunteering in the community, and regularly meeting with their mentor.

Mission Statement

Building Pathways to Success for the Youth of Immokalee.

Description

The Immokalee Foundation and its supporters are empowering children and young adults to change the course of their lives. Our students come from situations where English may not be their first language, where just getting through high school is considered a high achievement, and where a college degree and career are mere dreams.

We're in the business of helping make those dreams come true. With the support of mentors, donors, and volunteers, The Immokalee Foundation provides students with the resources and confidence to follow pathways to success. We do this by providing educational and career-building opportunities that open the student's eyes to their personal potential and help them understand that what they once considered impossible just might be possible after all.
