take care of myself when I got out on my own,” reflects

We believe
young people will make better choices if they
can see the future that’s possible
for them. Many of the problems our children
face can be reduced if they believe they have a
place
in this world and know how to be successful
in daily living.
Whether they breeze through life
or struggle
to overcome life, Mount Dora Children’s
Home guides young people by helping them
learn how to
make better choices, how to create a better
future and how to provide for themselves.
During their
time here, they discover the gaps between
their expectations and the realities of the
world
waiting for them.
Key life skills training
in the areas of education, finance, time
management, goal
setting and
planning help them reshape their future;
grow up prepared
for success and confident in both their
faith and their skills.
