Champions For Learning\u2019s Student Programs are divided into two distinct but complementary spheres: \u2018college and career access\u2019 and \u2018occupation-based learning and skill-building\u2019 and are designed to equip and prepare students for their future learning and career goals. Eighty-nine percent of the students we serve come from households living at or below the national poverty line. Our Student Programs support students working towards high school graduation and postsecondary education or technical training, equipping them with the tools necessary for continued academic, career, and overall life success. Our Take Stock in Children program emphasizes mentoring to guide students towards successful completion of high school and enrollment in college. The College and Career Preparation Program prepares 11th and 12th grade students for their future learning and career goals post high school graduation. Through the Technical Pathways program, students receive guidance on how to navigate the academic, technical, and real-world knowledge, skills and experience they need to be prepared for a career. Collier County Public Schools\u2019 High School Entrepreneurship Program offers project-based, authentic learning in a real-world environment. Champions For Learning recruits and trains volunteers, who work with students to develop the spirit of an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $2,107,229<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): For Fiscal Year 2025, committed sources of the funding for our Student Programs include Naples Children and Education Foundation.   The Annual Fund Plan is the foundation of Champions For Learning\u2019s fundraising activities, and includes direct mail campaigns, digital fundraising strategies, stewardship, fundraising and cultivation events, a large grants portfolio, and a planned giving program. Our fundraising efforts work in concert with our Communications Plan, which includes newsletters and weekly updates, the Champions For Learning website, social media engagement across multiple platforms, and a public relations strategy engaging local print and broadcast media.<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: July 1, 2024 \u2013 June 30, 2025<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Collier County, Florida<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 8th grade \u2013 12th grade students, 13-18 years old<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mrs.<br \/>\nContact First Name: Rebekah<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Telfer<br \/>\nContact Title: Director of Annual Giving<br \/>\nContact Phone: 239.263.5784<br \/>\nContact Email: rtelfer@championsforlearning.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: The Education Foundation of Collier County, Inc.
