🎓💼 Connections made. Opportunities explored. Futures in motion.
OYC Miami’s College & Career Fair brought students and community members together with colleges, universities, employers, training programs, and organizations to explore the many pathways available for their future.
For our OYC C.A.R.E.S. students, experiences like this are an important part of preparing for what comes next across our three pathways: College | Career and Technical | Military. Through direct exposure and meaningful connections, students had the opportunity to ask questions, explore options, and learn about the resources available to help them take their next steps.
The experience also connected participants with OYC Miami Human Resources, Post High programming, and Health and Wellness resources, reinforcing our commitment to supporting the whole person as they pursue their educational, career, and personal goals.
A special thank you to our sponsors and partners who helped make this event possible: NBA Foundation, Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation, United Way Miami, Overtown Children & Youth Coalition, and the Robert and Jane Toll Foundation.
Thank you to all of the participating organizations that showed up to connect, share resources, and create opportunities, including Atlantis University, Target, Miami Dade Honors College, Miami Dade College Continuing Education, TRIO, Miami Dade Fire Academy, OIC of South Florida, Westfield Business School, Easterseals Children’s Village, Easterseals South Florida, Lindsey Hopkins Technical College, Miami Dade County Aviation Department, and the Leylah Annie & Family Foundation.
And most importantly, thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions, made connections, and took another step toward their future.
This is exposure. This is opportunity. This is OYC C.A.R.E.S. in action. 🎓💼

Every neighborhood deserves a clear path to care. 💙
We are excited to share that the @healthsfl is investing $225,000 over three years to help OYC Miami become an established hub for community health access!
For more than 20 years, under the leadership of CEO Tina Brown, OYC Miami has served Overtown, Little Haiti, and Liberty City, supporting 5,500 individuals annually. This investment will help us expand access to essential health services through our on-site OnMed CareStation and dedicated Community Health Navigators, addressing critical needs in the communities we serve.
In partnership with the University of Miami Global Health Institute, this initiative is projected to provide blood pressure and diabetes screenings to 900 individuals, increase health knowledge and awareness by 75%, and connect 60% of participants to ongoing primary care.
Health and Wellness is one of our five pillars, and this investment strengthens our commitment to ensuring that the individuals and families we serve have access to the resources they need to thrive.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Health Foundation of South Florida for investing in our mission and helping us build healthier futures, one connection at a time. 💙

At OYC, enrichment and exposure are essential parts of our programming, giving students opportunities to discover their interests, develop their talents, and explore new possibilities beyond the classroom. Through our @wethebestfoundation Music Lab, powered by @playingforchangefoundation with classes taught by @guitarsoverguns OYC is dedicated to helping our kids discover their passion.
Through the generosity of the Song of Kellen Foundation, 14 OYC students received instruments of their own, including electric guitars with amplifiers, keyboards, horns, and clarinets. To be considered for this special opportunity, students wrote essays sharing what music means to them and the impact it has had on their lives.
OYC Founder Alonzo Mourning was there to witness the excitement firsthand as students received their instruments and took another step in their musical journeys. 🎹🎺🎸
This is OYC programming in action: creating access, expanding exposure, nurturing talent, and opening doors for our students.
These were more than instruments… this was an opportunity to discover what is possible! Give your child opportunities to discover what inspires them. Visit the link in our bio and enroll in OYC after school programming today!
