What a year here looks like.

FreshFutures is a year-long program for Duval County high school students. The training is practical: financial literacy, college readiness, job readiness, and academic help when school gets hard.

It is bigger than a report card, too. Students get health and wellness training, cultural outings, and leadership and character development. Families come along as well. A student stands taller when the whole house is behind them.

Do the year. Earn the summer.

Students meet several times a month through the school year at the Weaver Center for Community Outreach. Show up and do the work, and the year ends in a six-week paid summer internship for students who qualify. Real work, real hours, and a paycheck with your name on it.
