Let's make a difference together

It’s that time of year again! As we prepare for the 2024 Community Leader Breakfast, we are asking the community to nominate Charlotte County employers and educational institutions that are enriching the lives of homeless and extremely low-income individuals in our community.

These nominees should have a proven track record of offering supported employment, job training, internships, apprenticeships, and effective programs and initiatives that equip vulnerable residents of our community with the skills and training needed to successfully integrate into the local workforce.

Nominate Here!
