Our greatest accomplishment last year
This year Learning Empowered launched new initiatives to address the increasing needs of our families for social services, mental health, and resource access across our community. Our successes included: receiving 2 grants from the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County to provide Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation and specialized services to children with social-emotional development and behavioral concerns and their families; a United Way Suncoast grant to provide a Mindfulness Summer Camp for preschool aged children; a 2 year Citizenship and Immigration grant through United States Citizenship and Immigration Services; and support from JWB for a renovation of a new infant/toddler care center called the Baby House.
Learning Empowered works to engage the community at every level. We continue to envision a community where every child and every family has their needs met. We strive to partner with families, community members, and community partners in meaningful ways to work together to make a positive difference in our community and celebrate the successes and progress that we make every day.
