Overview

Mission

Establishing or facilitating programs to assist various communities that includes people with disabilities to gain and maintain employment with the assistance of government and federal funded programs which will enhance their quality of independent living.

What it reported doing in 2024

With the assistance of staff, administration and volunteers, we were successful in assisting approximately 320 students with disabilities during our VR Summer Program. While partnering with organizations such as Palm Beach, Broward and Polk County School District Staff, we were able to establish well-grounded programs that prepared students for post-secondary schooling, work readiness techniques, self awareness and self advocacy training necessary for gaining and maintaining paid employment. In several of our training programs the students were integrated into various communities and business organizations to allow close and personal experiences with supervisors, managers and HR staff discussing their job expectation and requirements in becoming a potentially hired candidate in their business. Miami International Airport(TSA) along with Miami Dade and Broward County Fire Rescue Departments assistance in safety training and rescue methods were a few exciting events experienced by the students. College tours and Technical Training Centers provided students with expectations fot further educations and pursue dreams wihil also displaying the chance to research higher Learning potentials available. The 2024 summer program experience was a huge success for each student as well as the organization. We are looking forward to our 2025 year of upcoming scheduled training programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
