5000 Role Models

Sponsored by Mr. Speights 

The 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project was founded by then Miami-Dade County School Board Member Frederica S. Wilson, now a member of the U.S. Congress. Initiated by the Miami-Dade County School Board in March 1993, the project was born out of the recognition that many young people face ongoing challenges that hinder their potential. Its mission is to intervene in the lives of youth, providing them with alternatives that steer them away from crime and violence.

Please see Mr. Speights for more information.
