Project BUILD SWFL, a dedicated mentoring and workforce development program located in Naples, Florida, is proud to announce that it has been awarded three generous grants from the Collier County Community Foundation. These funds will help support our mission to empower youth in foster care and young adults through targeted mentorship and workforce training programs. The grants include: *$5,000 Capacity Grant– To enhance our ability to expand and strengthen our program offerings. *$5,000 Food Grant– To provide essential nutrition for the youth in our care, ensuring they are ready to learn and grow. *$30,000 Program Grant– To directly support our carpentry program and other workforce development initiatives, providing the tools and resources necessary for hands-on training and career preparation for youth ages 16 to 24. Project BUILD SWFL serves two key populations: youth in foster care between the ages of 6 and 16, and young adults ages 16 to 24 in need of workforce development training. By providing career pathways in industries like carpentry, as well as important life skills through mentorship, our programs are designed to break the cycle of poverty, homelessness, and incarceration for at-risk youth in our community. "We are incredibly grateful to the Collier County Community Foundation for their continued investment in the future of our youth," said Aram Wheatley, CEO of Project BUILD SWFL. "These grants allow us to expand our reach and provide even more young people with the resources they need to succeed. This support is vital to fostering both personal and professional growth in the next generation of leaders.” Want to support our mission and help make a real difference?
