Weekly meetings with mentors, skill-building workshops and the support of a College Success Coach keep Take Stock in Children students on track for high school and college success. Every year, students like Shania graduate with a 2-year Florida Prepaid scholarship – funded by businesses, foundations and individuals – and move towards their career paths and the means to reverse their family’s cycle of poverty.
