Our Impact

Our goal is to provide underserved youth with opportunities

Many of the children in our program have one or more stressors in their lives that have been shown to impede academic success – things like poverty, a violent environment, substance abuse, mental health or criminal justice issues in the family.

Character development has been shown to help raise achievement levels among students growing up in those circumstances. 90% of the families served live in low income homes.

With more than 30 years of dedicated service to the children and families of Southwest Florida, the Q has helped transform the lives of thousands of people through youth and adult programs, supportive services and infusing much needed income into an under-served area through employment opportunities.
