The South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation, also known as "the Foundation," was
established in 1996 with the goal of improving the education of financially disadvantaged minority high
school students in the local area. The Foundation offers educational, leadership, and skill development
programs to senior high school students at Miami Dade County Public Schools, with a focus on
preparing them for success in business. The Foundation's programs include paid internships, the
Education Enrichment Program, and the Scholarship Program. The Education Enrichment Program has
corporate partners and aims to serve more students. The foundation has awarded over $950,000 to
high school students through its Education Enrichment Program, with scholarships and paid internships
provided exclusively to minority students enrolled in the public -school system of Miami Dade County.
Students must be on a paid lunch program to participate in Foundation Programs. As a result of its
success, the SFLHCC was recognized as a "Champion" of Miami Dade County Public School's
Business and Hospitality Program. Students have had the opportunity to attend conferences set up with
chamber members in various cities, including San Francisco, Seattle, New York City, San Antonio,
Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. They have also visited the headquarters of companies such as
Facebook, Microsoft, the NY Stock Exchange, Coca Cola, and Macy's, where they participated in
leadership development programs. For the fiscal year 2024/2025, the South Florida Hispanic Chamber
of Commerce Foundation is committed to continuing its "Education Enrichment" program, which has
been ongoing for 18 years. The program involves students tackling specific business situations and
presenting their ideas in a mini "Shark Tank" style presentation. The chambers education committee
interviews participants in groups of four, and the winning teams are selected based on their business
plans, recommendation letters, and a written essay. The winners are then provided with an all -
expenses -paid trip to a historical city in the United States, where they attend business sessions hosted
by chamber member companies. Furthermore, students meet with the Foundation's Board Members
three months after the trip for additional guidance on career goals and quarterly meetings to assess
their progress. The Foundation aims to support diverse leadership and expand opportunities so that the
future generation of leaders are well -prepared for the workforce. Increased support from corporate
America will enable the provision of necessary tools and programs, helping minorities succeed in their
lives.
