ALPHONSO SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Alphonso Scholarship Fund, Inc. (ASF) is an emerging Florida Not-for-Profit 501(c)3 corporation that facilitates summer reading and socioemotional programming to fifth-grade students in rural Jamaica with the goal of increasing youth socio-emotional and literacy skills. Founded in 2018 and later incorporated in August 2020, ASF works to fulfill its mission to "bridge the achievement gap for children in rural communities of Jamaica". The day-to-day operations of ASF are primarily funded through individual giving and by the contributions of its founding board of directors made up of three volunteers with successful experience in child welfare, social services, and education. The work of the organization is further strengthened by an international team of both sporadic and permanent interns and professional volunteers... We want to bridge the achievement gap for children in rural communities of Jamaica based on a core belief that education is the best form of primary prevention.
