The Florida Volunteer Foundation, Inc.
The Florida Volunteer Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening communities through community service, outreach, scholarship, education and empowerment. Its mission is to help young people pursue their education, develop their talents, grow as leaders and make meaningful contributions to their communities.
Through donations, sponsorships, partnerships and volunteer involvement, the foundation supports scholarships, community outreach and programs that create opportunities for personal and educational growth.
The foundation also supports Miss Florida Volunteer and Miss Florida Teen Volunteer by helping fund scholarships, contestant development and program expenses.
