| Statewide Interest: |
| The Reaching Out to Others Foundation, Inc. has a vision and purpose. Our purpose is to help prevent and improve student dropout rates by providing the means and ways of improving students reading, English and mathematical skills, FCAT studies/preparedness, computer training, homework assistance, and tutoring. Help develop good health and nutritional values.
We believe by working with students at an early age we can intervene and make a difference, thus improving their possibilities for entering statewide colleges and universities. The educational component is very important to our program. In order to participate, members must maintain a satisfactory or improve their grade point average and conduct grades.
