Seminole County Public Schools is honored to work with over 50 agencies and organizations in order to properly serve our homeless students. It is with this support and through community programming that our FIT students have the ability to access services that would not otherwise be available.
Below are partners that have given graciously to help our students:

Casselberry Community Task Force
Casselberry Task Force has created their own "Caring Community Model," that calls for the collaboration between local businesses, nonprofits, churches, civic groups and citizens in order to change a community. The task force addresses short term needs and has begun to provide long term solutions for issues related to hunger and homelessness. The model provides mentoring programs, food, clothing, and fun community activities, as well as the necessary support for people to transition out of poverty and into a more self-sufficient way of life.
