Huge shoutout to our amazing STEM Robotics students, families, and volunteers! 🤖✨

This year, we put our new 3D printer to work creating personalized robots as special thank-you gifts for the incredible participants and volunteers who helped make our afterschool program such a success. Each custom robot represents the creativity, teamwork, dedication, and innovation that our students brought to the program all year long.

We’re proud to celebrate a school year filled with learning, building, coding, problem-solving, and growth — and none of it would have been possible without the continued support of Raquel Regalado. Her ongoing commitment to youth education and STEM opportunities continues to make a lasting impact in our community.

Thank you to everyone who supported, volunteered, mentored, and believed in our students this past school year. The future is bright — and we’re just getting started! 🚀🔧🦾

Big win on and off the mat 💪🎓

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate one of our outstanding student-athletes for receiving a $10,000 scholarship from Dudes for Dads whose mission is to guide the next generation of fatherless children.

Through hard work, discipline, and determination in both academics and wrestling, he continues to prove what’s possible when dedication meets opportunity.

This scholarship is more than financial support — it’s recognition of the countless hours, sacrifices, and perseverance that got him here.

Your future is bright, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement! ❤️🩶

BIG THANK 🙌 to for sponsoring two lanes so that our children could compete with some Canes Legends!

The Home Team continues to make a meaningful impact in the lives of local children and families, and we’re honored that continues to support our mission.

Smiles, sunshine, and simple moments that help children grow 🌸✨

Field trips give our students a chance to explore, connect with nature, and create memories that inspire confidence and curiosity. Moments like these remind us that every child deserves opportunities to learn, dream, and bloom in their own way.

Our after-school program is about more than academics — it’s about creating experiences that nurture joy, creativity, and belonging. 🧡💚

Our Children Thank ✋🤚

🌎🌱 Celebrating Earth Day the best way we know how—getting our hands in the soil and planting the future!

Our after school participants spent the day with planting seeds in pots, learning that even the smallest actions can grow into something meaningful. 🌼

From understanding how plants grow to taking responsibility for nurturing them, today was all about connection—to the earth, to each other, and to a greener tomorrow.
These young changemakers are a reminder that caring for our planet starts early and grows with intention. 💚
Happy Earth Day! 🌍✨

Last week our Home Team scholars had an unforgettable experience touring The U! 🙌🎓

A huge thank you to the University of Miami student organization Kid & Culture for opening their doors and creating such an inspiring, hands-on campus visit for our after-school participants. From exploring campus life to learning about college pathways, our students walked away motivated and excited about their futures.
Experiences like this expand horizons, build confidence, and make dreams feel possible. 💚🧡
