After months of my kid being with this school. I decided not to continue for a lot of reasons…read more First, proper ratio of the kids were not followed. Teachers definitely don't have enough patience. Yelling, scolding, hurting are all over in one classroom. Children were crying. This school Including the boss are Tolerating teachers who have been yelling, scolding hurting children. Also, No equal treatment,Be aware of racism. In addition, Teachers don't update the parents fair and consistently. Parents will not have peace of mind leaving their kids to this school. Teachers and assistance seems don't have care and love for the kids. Complains will not be entertained because their priority is to protect the staff and their business. Even there is cctv it's not so realistic unless you caught them in person. Boss doesn't even know how teachers treat the kids. beware of one of the most horrible assshole staff there named mallory. I'm not sure if she is still there but if your child will be under her class. Just back off!! if she is still there. I wander why she can't be fired. Lastly, Don't trust anyone here.

I was first drawn in because a friend who I had traveled with was excitedly identifying herbs and "weeds" in the wild as we drove across the country and back. She would point out excitedly that's Yarrow and tell me the medicinal qualities of the plant, she would point at a beautiful flower and tell me its edible and I'd bite into its bright orange petals to enjoy the spicy freshness. Our trip was filled with many moments such as those. Her passion and excitement seeped in and I too wanted to know these things. So I began my journey by taking the Roots of Herbalism Course. What a wonderful introduction to the world of herbalism!! I feel empowered to cultivate relationships with plants and be mindful and conscious of how I can use herbs and diet to maintain health and to use as a medicine when I feel myself out of alignment. The journey continues and I know that even though the classes I have taken are over there is still a community of herbalists willing to share their knowledge and give advise, or I can purchase their amazing herbal medicines. I also enjoy the community moon circles, a way to dance and drum out energies and intentions and connect with others. They host events, such as Herb Day that bring together many of the holistic organizations and businesses together, providing free classes and a wonderful variety in the marketplace for holistic goods. They also host the annual Florida Herbal Conference, which is a wonderful experience! Anyways, I highly recommend the school. The teachers are excellent, the community is supportive. What more could you ask for?!

Well, the National Entrepreneur Center helps local business owners launch their ideas into reality and I have nothing but love and respect for that, it's really just an awesome spot that more people need to be aware of and take advantage of.

This event gives community members the opportunity to give back by adopting a child or even a Senior, providing gifts specific to the Angel Tree tag selected, and each person behind that tag will enjoy a gift at Christmas. The Salvation Army, while faith-based at its roots, does not discriminate when it comes to helping the community. ALL people, across ALL beliefs and every demographic, are the people they serve. Angel Tree is only one of the MANY great things this charity provides aid. More recently, Tuesdays during this pandemic, have been food distribution days, and people in need of food, drive to the main location, where boxes of fresh food are loaded into each person's vehicle. Another thing Salvation Army does to support the community is disaster response. During and following a disaster, the Salvation Army has mobile command center and feeding vehicles, which people impacted can enjoy a warm meal and also receive supplies/necessities. Again, ALL in need are WELCOME and no one is ever turned away. The 'Red Kettle' campaign is what most people think of with Salvation Army, and while that may be where their roots began, the Salvation Army is so much more than that now. Feel good about contributing and helping Salvation Army, and when they say 'Doing the Most Good,' know that is absolutely TRUE.

This is a wonderful volunteer opportunity for the family or an individual. Gifts are donated based…read moreon the needs of families registered for the program. Those gifts are then grouped together and assigned a number. Families are given a time and day to pick up their gifts. One can volunteer for a 4 hour shift where they will be introduced to a member of the family and given a sheet directing you to their gifts. You and a partner will then pick up their gifts, help the family member select a stocking or teddy bear and then help them to their car with the gifts. This volunteer event is very well organized, and the people are so grateful for the gifts. I highly recommend giving this volunteer opportunity a try. I believe this event only occurs in December each year. ***Please note*** The location of this event moves around so please check with the Salvation Army before you go.

I thought it would be a good idea to bring them by for use here at the zebra coalition. It kills me this organization even needs to exist. But on the other hand, it nearly brings me to tears to know that there are people who do accept LGBTQ youth and who really want to help as much as they can. This organization assists young people facing homelessness, bullying, physical, sexual and drug abuse; and isolation from their families with individualized programs to guide them to recovery stability. There is a 24 hour crisis crisis hotline, and also a drop in center. A great hang out area with washing and drying facilities is also available. Please stop by and take a tour in order to find out more about this great organization and learn how you can help. They are currently working on developing a volunteer program, but I have also listed some of the ongoing needs of this coalition.
