SOUTH FLORIDA YOUTH
i
South Florida Youth Foundation
The South Florida Youth Foundation was founded in 2001, to raise needed funds, and
provide direct assistance to elementary aged children in Overtown and Liberty City.
Founding Director Karen Fryd began providing school supplies directly to children in
1999, after visiting Fredrick Douglass Elementary in Overtown. There, a teacher told her
that many children could not do their homework because they did not have even basic
supplies. Together with school resource officers and neighborhood officers from the City
of Miami Police Department, Ms. Fryd identified specific needs, such as uniforms,
sweaters, shoes, socks, and books, the lack of which were preventing children from
successfully completing their school year.
In addition, Ms. Fryd, through the South Florida Youth Foundation, has sponsored turkey
drives, Christmas toy drives (over 1,500 toys), targeted programming in inner city
schools, such as Youth Crime Patrol Watch, sponsored teams — YMCA at Holmes
Elementary, Summer Camp for foster children, a garden at Dunbar Elementary, Turners
Kindergarten, PTA Programs, and provided band uniforms for Fredrick Douglass
Elementary.
Through the efforts of Ms. Fryd and the Foundation, more than 20,000 articles of brand
new clothing, donated computers, and some 12,000 backpacks with supplies inside have
been distributed. In addition, Ms. Fryd has sponsored Christmas parties at the New
Horizons Senior Center in Liberty City.
"My inspiration has always been the wonderful children, the dedicated teachers, and the
police department with their dedicated work to better the lives of children with
prevention programs," stated Karen Fryd. "All this is possible through their work and
that of friends and volunteers who have helped me with their hard work and generous
contributions", she said.
Headquarters for the South Florida Youth Foundation is on Miami Beach. Overhead is
zero, and 100% of all contributions go to work to help children and their communities.
