About us
Family has always been at the heart of Eckerd Connects. When we were founded in 1968 by Jack and Ruth Eckerd, the legendary power couple was often asked what motivated them to start a non-profit in rural Florida. Their answer was always the same, “It’s the kids.” Today those words still hold true – but much like other families, ours has grown. Over five decades later with a presence in 20 states and the District of Columbia, our family of services has expanded to include Job Corps, workforce development, aid for the homeless, transitional services for troubled youth, prevention services, and so much more. To learn more visit www.eckerd.org. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @eckerdconnects and “like” us on Facebook at facebook.com/eckerdconnectsus.

Celebrating 60 years of feel-good stories. 34-year-old Megan Beam is the Career Technical Training Manager at #DenisonJobCorps. She is also an alumnus from 2006 and 2007. “I came to 🏫Job Corps because I was being bullied at high school,” said Megan, “and, had It not been for Job Corps, I would not have a 🎓high school diploma to further my education later in life.” After Job Corps, Megan went onto receive a college degree in Human Resources. She wanted to work for #DenisonJobCorps because she feels very strongly about helping the students there. “I couldn’t be more thankful to be back here,” said Megan. “I’ve been through a lot of what they’ve been through. I really want to see them succeed…. Happy 60th Anniversary, Job Corps!” #DenisonJobCorps #JobCorpsLegacy #60YearsofJobCorps #JobCorps60th #60YearsofCreatingCareers #SuccessStory #JobCorpsWorks #CareersBeginHere

Francisco Sosa, a #PaulSimonChicagoJobCorps alum, now helps guide new students on their career paths, continuing the Job Corps legacy of mentorship. Francisco Sosa has worked for the #PaulSimonChicagoJobCorps since the year it opened 24 years ago. Prior to that, he was a two-time alumnus, getting his initial office administration trade certification just six months after starting at the Joliet Job Corps in 1997. From there, he went onto the Hubert Humphrey Job Corps for advanced training in IT. Today, Francisco is a student recruitment representative and believes his🌟passion for the program is helping youth find their way. “A lot of wonderful people have mentored me through the years,” said Sosa. “Now, I get to mentor new staff [and future students]. Look how far I have come. It’s a blessing to give back to these wonderful young youth. Happy 60th Birthday, Job Corps.” #PaulSimonJob Corps #JobCorpsLegacy #60YearsofJobCorps #JobCorps60th #60YearsofCreatingCareers #SuccessStory #JobCorpsWorks #CareersBeginHere
