Introduction:	CCFC’s commitment to building strong communities starts with our children. In 1992 after Hurricane Andrew, our agency helped support and entertain children in Florida City/Homestead who with their parents had become homeless. Believing that no investment is more important than one which helps children succeed in school, CCFC offers free, tutorial-based after school and summer camp to 200 unduplicated children ages 5-15 from PK-8th grade each year. Since 2007, our organization has been designated a 21st Century Community Learning Center by the Florida Dept. of Education. With funding from the U.S. Dept. of Education, United Way of Miami-Dade and Volunteer Florida, which funds 14 half-time AmeriCorps members to mentor our children, CCFC supports children who attend low-performing schools in our area and whose parents, have often had interrupted education opportunities. Many of our parents have limited English literacy which affects their ability to assist their children with homework and extra activities. Often working two jobs & enduring financial hardships, parents cannot afford full-time summer camp to support their children’s regular school learning, nor afford after school services to keep their children on track with all their daily assignments. Without YouthPride, many of our community’s children would likely be home alone or watched by siblings who are not equipped to help with homework or special projects.
