| Due to underenrollment at several Miami-Dade County Public Schools, several will close. We are seeking to use these facilities to develop the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Boys Club. Renovation dollars are needed to provide a pool and other necessary equipment for on-site programming designed to accommodate teens. A myriad of services and activities will be provided that help keep youths engaged in constructive behavior while seeking sustainable careers and jobs. |
