Then & Now: 40 Years of Growth 🌱
What began as just a few garden beds is now Simon’s Giving Garden, a thriving space with raised beds, seating, and room for students to learn and grow. This transformation is possible because of the generosity and support of our community, and it’s exactly what we’ll be celebrating at our 40th Anniversary Gala.
✨Which is just over a month away! ✨
Join us on February 21 as we celebrate 40 years of transforming lives.

Our students say it best. 💛 It’s National Mentoring Month, so we asked them to share their favorite things about their volunteers.
From helping with homework to showing patience, kindness, and care, our staff and volunteers make a lasting impact every single day. Thank you for being mentors and for the love, time, and dedication you pour into the lives of our kids.

We’re so proud of her accomplishment, help us congratulate her below! If you’re an alumni and recently graduated, we’d love to hear from you, DM us!

Senior Night done right ✨🚌
Starting at the Jupiter Lighthouse where we even spotted Santa, then off to the Maltz Theatre where we were treated to Christmas songs performances. After dinner at United Methodist Church of Jupiter, we cruised through neighborhoods glowing with Christmas lights and ended the night with food and fellowship at Ms. West’s house. So grateful for every stop and everyone who made this night so special 🤍

Thank you to the Town of Jupiter - Government, Jupiter Fire Rescue Department, Maria Marino, Candidate, Palm Beach County Commission, District 1 all the volunteers who came out to help, and everyone who donated or supported to make this possible. Also, thank you to City Sweets and DJ MD for making the day even more fun!
