United Foundation of Central Florida, Inc., (UFCF) is a 501(c)(3) public foundation focused on early intervention, leading to prevention. UFCF’s Board of Directors answered the Pine Hills community’s concerns to provide proven solutions to concerns that negatively affected the community by researching programs that work to clean up communities. The Harris Rosen Tangelo Park Program is one of the most successful. It was a natural choice for the foundation to duplicate, with a mission to partner and unite with local community and neighborhood organizations to positively transform families and individuals, utilizing early intervention and educational resources. The results of the Tangelo Park Program left Tangelo Park residents with job creation (a decrease in unemployment), a graduation rate increase from 20% to 100%, crime reduction, and an increase in family unity. Our model has aided in transforming Evans High School's graduation rate from 46% to 97%, crime reduction, and increased holistic wrap-around family support services. Through the commitments of our Board of Directors, FLU Students, and volunteers, we have amassed $18.3 Million in economic impact on the Central Florida Community, yielding 163,458 hours of volunteerism and programming hours.
