Travis recently spoke on ESPN South Florida about the heart behind the work at the Edna W. Runner Education Center.
At the Center, we’re committed to giving students real-world experiences — from cooking and carpentry to sewing and other hands-on skills that help prepare them for the future. If you have a special skill or trade, we’d love for you to come share it with our students.
