Meet Edgar, a TIF Success Story
TIF's Vocational Success program gained the spotlight in a recent edition of the Naples Daily News.
"When Edgar Robles-Garcia was an Immokalee High School senior, he joined Future Builders of America," the article reads. "By graduation, he had earned an internship at BCB Homes. Today, the 20-year-old has a job thanks to the Immokalee Foundation’s Vocational Success program."
The story lets us into the lives of students whose future has been shaped by their participation in the program.
“It’s unbelievable,” says Edgar, who earned an internship and later a full-time job with BCB Homes thanks to his work with Vocational Success. “I wouldn’t have this position without The Immokalee Foundation.”
