Take Stock in Children (TSIC) was established in 1995 as a non-profit in Florida that provides a an opportunity for deserving low-income youth/students to escape the cycle of poverty through education. The mission of TSIC is to passionately promote personal growth, self-responsibility, and academic success by providing a unique set of resources including mentors, scholarships, long-term support, student advocacy and a guaranteed educational opportunity.
Position Information
VISTA members generally do not provide direct services, such as tutoring children or building homes.

- Volunteer Recruitment, Retention, and Training
