Puttin' for a Good Cause
Zo's Celebrity Golf Classic
We tee’d off this year’s Zo’s Celebrity Golf Classic with 26 foursomes vying for the chance to win the winners title.  Every year we can count on the charitable giving of our celebrity supporters, corporate partners, sponsors and committed players, who are all definitely instrumental in making this golf classic a memorable one, and a fundraising success.  
Who is Ready to be SUPER?
Super Saturday Kickoff
The first Super Saturday of the year was absolutely super-ific. The day was filled with learning, combined with fun and fitness, which made a great day. We encouraged our youth to exercise their brain and body, as those are essential elements to staying mental strong, and physically healthy.  

We are grateful to Vous Church members who took over the second Super Saturday of January, alongside Dreamcatchers for the Soul, and ICON Program with Sylvia Benito.  The combined efforts of these volunteer groups provided our students with yoga sessions, financial literacy, hands on activities, sports/games as well as a delicious breakfast and lunch.   

Super Saturdays offers students' academic support and the opportunity to engage with our team of mentors, staff, and volunteers in arts, S.T.E.A.M, sports and fitness! Each Super Saturday volunteers come out and support our Saturday Programming, and provide them assistance in areas of education, science, arts and more. Visit the link below to register for Super Saturday, and to learn about other volunteering opportunities at OYC Miami.
