The Vision emerged early and is centered on the idea that “Overtown, a community where all children and youth thrive,” should remain at the forefront of the Plan. Community members approved of this statement due to its present and future orientation. Moreover, stakeholders wanted to make certain that the mission would focus on all children and youth from birth through age 24 who reside in Overtown. Click to learn more about us.
