The AnnieRuth Foundation was established in 2012. This 501(c)3 organization is named after Ruth Kearney, the grandmother of Founder, Dee Wilcox. Its purpose is to serve as a catalyst of positive change in underserved communities.
The foundation focuses on education, health initiatives, and economic development. Our goal is to equip participants with knowledge and skills to assist with making healthy life choices; thus empowering them to become positive contributors to society. Our programs offer viable solutions to problems that negatively impact individuals, the family unit and the community as a whole; problems that if unaddressed will negatively impact future generations.
The AnnieRuth Foundation has a deep commitment to the personal, educational and professional achievement of those we serve.
To strengthen underserved communities by providing services and resources in an effort to educate, enrich and empower families on the First Coast.
To be a catalyst of positive change in underserved communities.
Passionate (we believe that “passion” drives one to do their best work; we are passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve)
Respect (we believe that every soul deserves to be treated with dignity; therefore we handle every interaction with the highest level of respect)
Equality (we believe that we are neither above nor beneath anyone else regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or gender; we are all human beings seeking to make this world a better place of which to live)
Accountable (we believe that each person should be held accountable for their actions; making no excuses but a commitment to do better)
Committed (we believe that programs should be solution-oriented and results driven; therefore we are committed to continuously evaluating our programs ensuring that they are suitable for those we serve)
Sowing seeds, strengthening communities
Through the AVID elective class, students become a family and participate in a number of activities geared towards college and careers. Your resume writing workshop was a perfect fit for our AVID students and allowed them an opportunity to delve deeper into their career by actually strengthening their resume and preparing for (an actual) interview. This is an awesome workshop that I would recommend for students and adults alike as they seek to build or strengthen their career portfolio and to ensure that they are adequately prepared for interviews. Thank you again for all that you do!
Thank You for participating as a speaker at our 2013 Learn2Earn session. Your connection with the students was overwhelming. You were inspiring and extremely motivating in your interactions. Thank you for making a difference in a child’s life!
I was so excited when I learned that I would be working at a publishing company! There was never a dull moment working with my mentor. I am extremely blessed for being an award recipient of the AnnieRuth Foundation’s summer internship program because I was able to learn more about my future career of becoming a journalist and got paid for it. It was an amazing experience!
