The Florida Youth Foundation Announces Collaboration with AmeriHealth Caritas Florida to Provide Life-Changing Scholarships to At-Risk Youth
~ Collaboration will place disadvantaged young people on a trajectory to success ~
AmeriHealth Caritas Florida, a Medicaid-managed care plan dedicated to helping the underserved receive care, stay well, and build healthy communities and part of the AmeriHealth Caritas Family of Companies, is collaborating with the Florida Youth Foundation to benefit the lives of at-risk youth. AmeriHealth Caritas Florida has made a $20,000 donation to the Florida Youth Foundation (FYF), the direct support organization of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). FYF will use the funds to support scholarship opportunities for disadvantaged youth.
One of the scholarship opportunities that FYF offers is the Scholarship Tuition for At-Risk Students program (STARS), which provides DJJ youth with a Florida Prepaid Plan, allowing the youth to attend a two-year college or technical school, tuition-free. With AmeriHealth Caritas Florida’s donation, more youth will receive life-changing support that puts them on a trajectory to success. AmeriHealth Caritas Florida aims to empower those in need at all stages of their lives to achieve their American Dream, and the collaboration between FYF and AmeriHealth Caritas Florida will help both organizations achieve their goals.
