Preparing Youth for the Real World
In 2026, we are proud to introduce our Workforce Readiness Program, designed to support children and young adults as they prepare for life beyond the classroom.
This program will focus on:
Career exploration
Job readiness and life skills
College and trade pathways
Confidence-building and leadership development
This free symposium is focused on the real mental and emotional challenges today’s youth face—in school, in sports, and in everyday life. From academic pressure and social media influence to athletic demands and identity struggles, young people are carrying more than ever before.
Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming space where mental health is prioritized, stigma is broken, and families walk away with real tools, helpful resources, and a strong sense of community.
Stay tuned for more details and registration information—coming 2026!
The Hollands Foundation did an outstanding job! This was my first time attending one of their back-to-school events, and I was beyond impressed. Everything was exceptionally well-organized, and the items provided were of great quality. The volunteers who helped make this event a success were welcoming, friendly, and full of joy.
Out of all the years I’ve signed up for back-to-school assistance—and with my oldest now 23—this has truly been the best experience by far. My youngest is currently in the 10th grade, and I’m so thankful to have had such a positive and uplifting experience to close out this chapter.
Meeting the players , the shoes, just the experience
He enjoyed everything. The shoes, The free haircut, walking around talking at the different tables, meeting the basketball player, dancing and having a good time
He got some nice new relevant shoes. The event was VERY well organized. It wasn’t a long wait or long lines it was a really positive experience. It kinda felt like a vip event vs a normal charity give away!.
It helped my son’s confidence with being able to go, get school supplies and see Ron.
This event was a blessing to the community and everyone involved deserves a huge thank you

The entire atmosphere was enjoyable. My child like going table to table and interacting with everyone.
