>In 1971, two local volunteers – Dorothy Fleegler and Frances Cohen – saw a need among the low-wage laborers and farmworkers in the area for a safe and affordable place for their children while they worked hard all day to provide for them. This place needed to be special – a place of love and enrichment, where these children could begin to pave their pathway out of the generational cycle of poverty. They envisioned a future where every child, regardless of their background, could rise above and achieve their potential, building a strong and vibrant community for us all.
ABOUT THE FULLER CENTER
For more than 50 years, the Fuller Center’s mission has been to embrace, educate, and empower hardworking,
under-resourced families and children to reach their full potential by building a positive future through education for more than 1000 children (infants through teens) annually. The Fuller Center reaches more than 700 families in more than 60 zip codes throughout Palm Beach and Broward Counties. We serve more than 433,740 meals and snacks yearly.
92% of Fuller Center parents serve as essential or frontline workers, working in hospitals, retail outlets, restaurants, and hotels. Fuller Center’s high-quality but affordable childcare programs ensure that these essential workers can afford to live and work in South Florida.
Fuller Center Programs help empower children to start school prepared, succeed academically, and break the generational cycle of poverty through quality early childhood education, out-of-school programs, a private elementary school, teen leadership programs and family empowerment center.
