The Keys Childrenâs Foundation has granted the Florida Keys Childrenâs Shelter $105,000 to help fund residential program salaries of its residential counselor, assistant residential coordinator and training coordinator positions, all three employed full-time at the 19-bed Jelsema Center in Tavernier.
The Keys Childrenâs Foundation provides financial support to non-profit organizations dedicated to providing programs that offer education, healthcare and recreation to disadvantaged children and their families living in Floridaâs Upper Keys. These programs help youth and their families meet everyday challenges and empower them to gain a greater sense of control and responsibility for their own lives.
