Join Us in Building Endless Possibilities
Since 1984, Guadalupe Center has been making a significant difference for students and families in Immokalee. Three extraordinarily successful educational programs reach 1,700 students per year. However, there is still a great need to expand these services. Help us make an impact today, tomorrow and beyond!
Today
MAKING AN
IMMEDIATE IMPACT
In spring 2020, we enrolled an additional 64 students at our newly renovated MONAGHAN FAMILY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CAMPUS, thanks to early philanthropic support for Guadalupe Center 2020 & Beyond. Ongoing support is needed to fund operations at this campus, where students will be educated and cared for from birth to age 3.
Tomorrow
MAKING A
BIGGER IMPACT
In spring 2022, the VAN OTTERLOO FAMILY CAMPUS FOR LEARNING was completed, enabling us to provide an additional 154 students ages 6 weeks to 5 years old with Early Childhood Education. The adjacent BRYNNE & BOB COLETTI HALL provides a new 7,000-square-foot home for the Tutor Corps Program, giving 117 Immokalee High School students a dedicated learning space.
Beyond
MAKING A
LASTING IMPACT
Creating an ENDOWMENT to generate a portion of the funding needed for annual operating expenses will help secure this transformational programming for generations to come. Donors can help to ensure that academic success is possible for children in Immokalee, today and in the future.

How Education Breaks the Cycle of Poverty in Immokalee
Generous donors enable Guadalupe Center to provide its high-quality Early Childhood Education Program, which serves children from six weeks old to age five, as well as its After-school Tutoring Program for at-risk K-2 students and support for high school and college students in need through Tutor Corps. With 97% of children in Immokalee currently designated as economically needy, these three programs are more important than ever, especially Early Childhood Education. The research is clear…
