Building Leaders for Tomorrow

Mercy Foundation’s Youth Education & Empowerment program helps students discover their potential and see education as a pathway to possibility. Across Central Florida, many young people face barriers to guidance, opportunity, and access. We’re here to bridge that gap through community partnerships and mentorship that create lasting change.

Through our outreach events and scholarship programs, we equip students with the tools, confidence, and support to reach higher. Every young person deserves the chance to dream and the direction to make those dreams real.

Why we do it
