Social Emotional Learning Supports for Students

We’re honored to be among the first recipients of funding from the newly formed Smith & Associates Real Estate Foundation. Smith & Associates has been involved in the Tampa Bay Community for over 50 years. In 2022, they deepened that involvement by creating a Foundation and awarded 28 local nonprofits grants to positively impact the people of Tampa Bay. The grant we received will support Social Emotional Learning training for our classroom tutors and mentors. They will be equipped with the skills to encourage resiliency and positive well-being for the students they serve. We want to give a special shout out to Smith & Associates Realtor Janet Yardley Mendez, who sponsored our application. She is a dedicated volunteer in the community and learned the value of volunteering from her father, a Seniors in Service Lifetime Achievement Award Winner, and proud of it!
