“Live Oak Community Foundation has become an essential partner for our county. Their programs fill critical gaps in services and their data-driven approach ensures every dollar creates measurable impact for our residents.”
“The workforce development program changed my life. I went from unemployment to a stable career in six months. The mentors genuinely cared about my success and checked in even after I started my new job.”
“The youth education program has transformed our after-school offerings. Students in the program improved reading scores by an average of 1.5 grade levels. We could not do this work without Live Oak.”
