The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties provided this grant to the Lakeside Youth Empowerment Center (YEC) in Belle Glade. The YEC provides young people ages 12-19 a safe, accessible place to learn about careers, leadership, parenting, gang prevention and employment services. The facility is located in an area of high need, and its young clients can easily walk there for tutoring, mentoring and job training. Currently, 82 young people are enrolled in the program. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Fund and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fund at the Commmunity Foundation supported this critical grant.
