Take Stock in Children of Florida (State HQ)

Goal setting is an important part of academic success for our Take Stock students. We want to give a Take Stock shout-out to our sophomore students in the TSIC: Valencia Horizon Scholars program at Valencia College who attended their Back-to-School Kickoff! Spending intentional time reconnecting and recommitting to their individual and program goals will set the tone for a successful school year! #TakeStockinChildren #goalsetting #classof2027 #mentoringprogram

This #MentorMonday, we want to shout out our Take Stock Alachua mentors! Our Take Stock program team at The Education Foundation of Alachua County shared, "Our students are back in the classroom, getting reacclimated to school, and that also means our Take Stock mentors have headed back into schools to meet face-to-face with their mentees. Whether you're continuing your journey with a student or just getting started, there's no better way to make a lasting impact than through an in-person connection. Together, we're helping our students stay on track for success, and we couldn't do it without our mentor's dedication!"👏👏👏 #TakeStockinChildren #mentoringchangeslives #AlachuaCounty #mentoringprogram

At Take Stock, Mentoring Changes Lives is not just an inspiring slogan; it's what we know and we’ve seen happen for nearly 30 years. We see it every day in moments big and small between our mentors and mentees. Take Stock Brevard captured this special moment between their program leaders and mentors, Charles, Brad, and Steve, and some young middle school mentees at Stone Magnet Middle School as they showed the students how to tie a necktie. A truly inspirational life-skill moment!👔 Take Stock mentors coach, support, guide, and encourage Take Stock students, giving them life skills and lessons they’ll need!
