Your Generosity Empowers Change in Overtown's Youth Community

November 16, 2023

Empowering Overtown's Children and Youth

Your donations are invaluable for helping our mission to further empower the children and youth of the Overtown community in their endeavors to reach their full potential. OCYC’s annual signature events are more impactful thanks to you.

Bridging the Digital Divide with Laptops

The OCYC Laptop Scholarship Program awards Overtown students with laptops to bridge the Digital Divide and to improve their technology skills. Since 2021 we have awarded 225 laptops.

“At home, I used to share an old computer with my mother, brother, and sister. It’s hard to get all of my homework done with the computer freezing. Now, I’m so happy to have my new laptop. I even let my little sister use it too.” 

- Daeshanda S., Student

Empowering Futures at the "I’m the Boss of My Life" Youth Conference

The I’m the Boss of My Life Youth Conference prepares youth ages 16-24 for their future careers during a day-long event of speakers and workshops. Over the past five years, 400 youth participants have benefited from the event.

"Remaining knowledgeable, maintaining a quality reputation, and being able to endure any challenge is a Boss. I'm so thankful for the boss of my life conference because I'm now able to apply everything I learned into the boss I will be one day!"

- Genesis L., Student
