The Immokalee Foundation

Description

Since 1991, The Immokalee Foundation has committed itself to building pathways to success for the children of Immokalee. The Immokalee Foundation programs range from early childhood literacy education to college preparatory and advanced vocational training. The Immokalee Foundation is devoted to improving the lives of Immokalee’s next generation by emphasizing education, vocation and life skills through programs that provide students with opportunities to grow, learn, and advance to educational and professional heights that they never dreamed possible, leading to economic independence. The Immokalee Foundation serves more than 1,400 Immokalee children each year, which serves to break the cycle of poverty within their 1,100+ families. The Immokalee Foundation’s students achieve a stellar 100% high school graduation rate, 100% college/vocational school admission rate, and 91% post-secondary graduation rate.
Mentors and volunteers are crucial to achieving our mission.
