What families say

“Thanks to The Immokalee Foundation, I am always learning new things that will enhance my potential for my future. I have learned about different careers through our projects and programs—amazing things I did not know about before.” — Byron M., Career Exploration in Middle School

“I was able to participate in a life-changing internship—made possible by The Immokalee Foundation and Physicians Regional Healthcare System. The Physicians Regional staff taught me that it's all about providing excellent care and a positive patient experience. These types of remarkable opportunities only continue to confirm my choice of a healthcare career.” — Liliana S., Healthcare Pathway

“The Foundation's workshops helped me transition to the professional world. From etiquette dinners to networking events, I found it easier to communicate with professionals in the construction industry, even when they were more knowledgeable. This extra support gave me the confidence to interact with anyone who crossed my path.” — Maria A., Career Success
