The Need in Central Florida

Too many children in our own backyard face barriers that make learning and thriving harder than it should be. 8Waves exists to meet students where they are and provide the support they need to move forward.

Poverty Changes the Starting Line

In Orange County, 58,000 children, nearly 1 in 5, are living in poverty. In Lake County, more than 7,100 children face the same reality.
