Our Prodigy Program was honored to have Ada Morales represent our organization at the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice's One Mentor One Child Summit in Orlando! The summit brought together youth advocates, mentors, and program providers across the state to learn new strategies, build connections, strengthen partnerships, and share areas of support young people need their focus on.
We are proud to be part of the continued crime prevention efforts DJJ is doing across the state and remains committed to empowering youth through mentorship, arts-infused life skills education, and positive development opportunities.
