Every warrior has a next mission. We know that the transition to civilian life is a journey. And for every warrior, family member, and caregiver, that journey looks different. Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) began in 2003 as a small, grassroots effort providing simple care and comfort items to the hospital bedsides of the first wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As their post-service needs evolved, so have our programs and services. Today, through our direct programs in mental health, career counseling, and long-term rehabilitative care, along with our advocacy efforts, we improve the lives of millions of warriors and their families. This effort requires the passion and commitment of friends, supporters, and like-minded organizations that enable us to fulfill our mission. With their collaboration and support, we strive to ensure that when those who serve come home, they’re afforded every opportunity to be as successful as a civilian as they were in the military.

As one of the first organizations in Florida to serve children with special needs, Pine Castle helped pioneer the philosophy that individuals with intellectual/developmental (I/D) differences have the right to live whole and productive lives. Pine Castle was founded in 1952 by a group of 33 families of children with I/D differences. No local programs or schools existed at that time to provide support services, except for a few distant residential institutions run by the state. Parents were forced to choose between institutionalization or keeping their children at home. In 1965, the public school system initiated a program for students with special needs. At that time, Pine Castle transitioned to a work and life skills training and activity center for adults with differences. Today, Pine Castle is a leader in serving adults with intellectual and developmental differences and providing support to their families across Northeast Florida. More than 300 clients come through our programs daily, learning valuable skills. Pine Castle offers many opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental differences, from basic academic training and hands-on job experience to leisure activities and life skills coaching. MISSION Our mission is to empower adults with intellectual and developmental differences through opportunities to learn, work, and connect. VISION Our vision is for a community where persons with intellectual and developmental differences achieve their potential for independence. CORE VALUES Embrace Differences Respect Personal Choice Care Deeply About Each Individual Empower Through Education Transform Our Community

In 1964 President Lyndon B. Johnson declared an "unconditional war on poverty" and created the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act. Working with the poverty task force created by Kennedy, President Johnson created the Office of Economic Opportunity to administer a wide variety of poverty prevention and alleviation programs created under the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act. Community Action Agencies were founded on the idea that local citizens were the most knowledgeable and best equipped to address problems of poverty in their communities. Community Action gave previously powerless people the means to work toward their own economic and social advancement. Community Action Agencies help people to help themselves in achieving self-sufficiency. Today, there are approximately 1,000 Community Action Agencies in the United States.
