Charity Spotlight: Overtown Youth Center- Miami, FL

The Overtown Youth Center was the vision of local real estate developer     Martin Z. Margulies. Through the Margulies Foundation, he built the Overtown     Youth Center with the support of Alonzo Mourning in hopes of creating a     safe haven for the children in Overtown. Opening in early 2003, the Overtown     Youth Center (OYC) is a state-of-the-art facility located in the heart     of Miami’s inner city. The Center co-locates academic and recreational     activities in a safe environment, working with children, families, and     schools from grade 2 to graduation. We offer in-school, after-school, weekend,     and summer programs that include academic enhancement, physical fitness,     health care and nutrition, creative arts, prevention, character-building,     and family-oriented activities, including parent orientation. For more information on the Overtown Youth Center visit www.overtownyouth.org.
