Take Stock in Children of Manatee County is a non-profit organization that supports students from low-income families by pairing a college scholarship with a mentor program. Operating through a local network of schools, businesses, agencies, and individuals, the program aims to keep students in school, help them graduate high school, and pursue postsecondary education, while providing ongoing mentorship on school grounds during the day. The initiative targets motivated students beginning as early as the sixth grade, with families or guardians committing to a trajectory of academic and personal responsibility, including staying drug- and crime-free and maintaining good conduct. Based in Bradenton, Florida, the organization collaborates with community partners to offer structure and guidance that can translate into college access and eventual workforce readiness. The program reports a high level of success in guiding participants toward continued education and employment pathways.
