After School Program | Firewall Centers

Firewall Centers’ evidence-based after-school program provides
tutoring and mentoring to high-need students in elementary,
middle, and high school.

THE NEED

Poverty has an adverse impact on a student’s academic and social success. Firewall Centers aims to solve educational inequality by bridging the gap, providing tutoring and mentoring to students who lack the tools they need to succeed.

A student who lives
in poverty and can’t
read on grade level by
3rd grade is 13 times
less likely to graduate
high school.

At Firewall Centers,
our students not only
survive, they thrive.

THE MISSION

Firewall Centers provides daily, school-based tutoring and mentoring services designed to help students achieve academic success, build character, and transform into servant leaders.

THE IMPACT

Firewall Centers has been actively changing
young lives in South Florida for almost 15 years.
