We offer GED prep courses, Work Experience internships, and On the Job training. Family has always been at the heart of Eckerd Connects.

Eckerd Connects lives to fulfill its mission to provide fundamental life, education, and workforce skills that together form the building blocks for better lives. When we were founded in 1968 by Jack and Ruth Eckerd, the legendary power couple was often asked what motivated them to start a non-profit in rural Florida. Their answer was always the same.

“It’s the kids.”

Today those words still hold true – but much like other families, ours has grown. Nearly five decades later with a presence in 20 states, our family of services has expanded to include foster care, adoption, workforce development, aid for the homeless, transitional services for troubled youth, and so much more. Eckerd Connects’ Paxen lives to fulfill its mission to provide fundamental life, education, and workforce skills that together form the building blocks for better lives. Paxen specializes in developing and delivering outcome-based programs that build academic, employment, and life skills. The organization was founded in 1984 and has grown since then in terms of both locations and the scope of services provided, including innovative new programs designed specifically for youth involved with juvenile justice. Eckerd Connects partnered with Paxen in 2013 as part of its Project Bridge Program. We are now proud to have Paxen as an affiliated organization, as both organizations continue to provide much-needed second chances to children and their families. Key Programming Features:
On The Job Training programs
Workforce development and life skills training
GED® Services
Paxen has programs across the Southeastern United States
