Vero Beach – At a recent celebratory breakfast, members of the Grand Harbor Community Outreach Program (GHCOP) awarded a grant to Youth Guidance Mentoring Academy.

According to Felix Cruz, Youth Guidance Executive Director, “We are delighted to be one of the recipients receiving a grant. It will enable us to fulfill our commitment to enhance our Mentoring Academy concept with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math-based programs, which maintain the core academy elements of mentoring and social skills development.”
