This is what life-changing opportunity looks like.

In just a matter of weeks, Olivia went from starting something new to building a future in healthcare—completing hands-on training, earning her CNA certification, and stepping into a job almost immediately after graduating.

CareerEdge isn’t just about training—it’s about opening doors, building confidence, and helping individuals discover a path they may have never thought possible. Olivia’s journey is a powerful reminder of what can happen when someone is given the chance to grow, learn, and succeed.

We are proud to be part of stories like hers—and to continue investing in brighter futures for our community. 💙

“Kevin’s not here…”

If you get it, you get it. If not… go watch Home Alone 2.

We had a little fun recreating a classic, but behind the humor is something that truly matters to our community.

Tomorrow at 12 PM, the Giving Challenge begins — a 24-hour opportunity to invest in people, potential, and possibility right here in Sarasota.

Through this effort, we’re able to support our programs like CareerEdge, ThinkBIG, Leadership Sarasota, and InternConnect — initiatives that help individuals build real-world skills, gain meaningful experience, grow as leaders, and connect to opportunities that can change the course of their futures.

These programs are creating pathways to careers, strengthening our workforce, and opening doors that might otherwise stay closed.

Every gift helps move someone forward.

Be the one who shows up. Be the one ready to give.
