As part of its US 19 corridor vision initiative, Forward Pinellas is working with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), City of St. Petersburg, and the Skyway Marina District to evaluate the concept of repurposing the outside lanes of 34th Street from 22nd Avenue South to 54th Avenue South for bus use and business access. This would be implemented as part of an FDOT resurfacing project scheduled for construction in 2022.

This annual event is one of our LARGEST Youth Council activities and has become a favorite of youth, volunteers, board and staff! It’s really lots of fun (and takes an army of volunteers and supports).
Just like the TV show, teams must decipher clues and then go to stops where they are required to perform various tasks. Here’s where the twist comes in! All of the tasks in our RACE is designed to help the youth we serve fill in life skills and learning gaps that are common to this vulnerable population. The RACE makes learning these life skills fun. It’s a whole day of learning without opening a single book! Come cheer on the racers at the Finish-Line Party at Quaker Steak and Lube for a celebration and (late) lunch!
The resilient young people we serve have faced many of life’s most difficult challenges and in many cases have been distracted or not had the opportunity to engage in important activities to learn how life works. Our Truly Amazing Resource Race takes teams through all kinds of activities designed to help fill in some of the missing pieces in a fun way.

Suncoast Voices for Children works on the front-end to help keep children out of foster care as well as to help those already within the system. Since 2004 we’ve helped thousands because we believe, if the parents can’t care for them, the community must. Every year there are as many as 3,000 children in found danger from adults in our community.
Child Protection Investigators in Pasco and Pinellas Counties identify children in danger and the needs the State does not meet. We then provide items that can keep them from becoming foster children – like their very own beds, or lockboxes to lock up guns and medications, or door alarms to prevent them from running into danger.
For children in foster care, Case Managers identify the children and their unmet needs. These children often leave home with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Most suffer failure in school. More than half never get to play after school sports or go on school trips or camping. We meet those needs.
Here are our 2017 Totals (in round numbers)
– Total number of children served – 2,220
– Total dollar amount spent on children ‘s needs – $200,000
– 875 children provided beds/bedding – $114,000
– Health and safety items – 565 children – $23,250
– Normalcy Activities and Equipment – 494 children – $46,000
– Education Support – 65 children – $7,100
