YOUTH ENRICHMENT
R.I.C.H. Connect (Rich in Confidence & Hope) program equips underserved youth (ages 13-24) and those facing significant challenges with key job skills like resume building, goal setting, interviewing, and money management. We help bridge the gap between re-entry and success by connecting participants to second chances, mental health support, mentorship, and community resources.

SPONSOR A TEEN IN NEED
Enriching Young Minds (EYM) program provides emotional and social support for teens who are in secure detention with little or no outside support and need a sponsor. On a biweekly basis we participate in social eating/meal sharing, playing games, and engaging in youth-led discussions inside the Duval County Juvenile Detention Center. If you are interested in sponsoring a teen, click the link below.
