Overtown CYC

Overtown CYC Empowering all children and youth in Overtown to reach their full potential through education, leadership, and community support.

In 2012, the Overtown Children and Youth Coalition (OC*C) was formed by the anchoring community-based nonprofit organizations in the Overtown Community: Urgent, Inc., Overtown Youth Center, Touching Miami with Love, Lotus House, and Dress for Success with the support of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency and City of Miami District 5 City Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jo

nes. Within months, additional stakeholders joined and worked together under the umbrella of Overtown Children and Youth Coalition. The groundbreaking step towards addressing the needs of Overtown’s children and families with a collective impact and systems-level approach instead of a service-based structure with needs addressed in siloes was well-received by the community. OC*C continues to serve as the backbone organization to support anchoring community-based organizations to empower Overtown as a community where all children and youth reach their full potential.

The Historic Hampton House is more than a landmark. It is a living reminder of the leaders, movements, and moments that helped shape Black history in Miami and across this nation.

Our history is not something to hide from. It’s something to learn from, honor, and carry forward. Join us for Voices from the Historic Hampton House, a powerful evening of storytelling, reflection, and conversation centered on one of South Florida’s most significant landmarks and the legacy it continues to leave behind.

The Hampton House stands as a symbol of Black excellence, resilience, culture, and community.

As former State Senator Dwight Bullard reminds us, understanding the challenges of our past helps shape the greatness of our future. That’s why conversations like these matter.
