Take Stock in Children of Lake & Sumter Counties

Take Stock in Children was established in Lake and Sumter counties in 1996 as a non-profit organization that provides a unique opportunity for deserving low-income youth/students, many from minority families, to escape the cycle of poverty through education. We offer our students college scholarships, caring volunteer mentors, and hope for a better life. Our comprehensive services start in middle school, continue through high school and include their transition into college.
