The Needing Opportunity to Win (N.O.W.) Project serves to provide youth in grades 9-12 with both personal and professional development services that will build self-esteem while improving their academic and job readiness skills. Services provided include resume building, interview skills, financial literacy, college readiness, career planning and support groups. The goal is to empower youth with knowledge and confidence to be successful after high school. We offer this program at North Gardens High School, and North Miami Beach Senior High School.

N.O.W. Project Health and Wellness

Provides health and wellness screenings to teach K-12 students and their families to practice healthy habits such as eating healthy foods, exercising daily, preventing sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies by engaging and educating them to ensure a positive and lasting change. The program will effectively communicate the need for regular routine medical check ups while also facilitating the process to access such services.

Project h.o.p.e.

Project H.O.P.E. (Healing, Opportunity, Peace and Empowerment) provides social services to women and young girls ages 16-24 who have been subjected to homelessness, running away, sexual assault or human trafficking. The services provided include individual and group counseling, housing referrals and case management to provide these young women with support to become self-sufficient.
