Inspiring Minds. Changing Lives.

As the recognized district-wide education foundation for Okeechobee County Schools, we work collaboratively with school leaders to determine how and where private sector investment and volunteer involvement can have the greatest impact on student success. We connect community to classrooms to innovate learning, power potential, and celebrate success.

We know our schools can’t do it alone, and our purpose is to foster the investment and involvement it takes for every student to realize their full potential. We leverage investments to encourage innovative approaches to help our teachers and schools succeed in eliminating opportunity gaps for students. We believe engaged and connected communities lead to teacher and student success.
