Our After-School Program runs Monday–Wednesday afternoons for children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. You can volunteer one, two, or all three days each week, depending on your schedule.

Our annual Back to School Bash is one of our most helpful events for the children by providing backpacks filled with school supplies along with each child receiving undies, socks and 2 pairs of new sneakers. 

SoZo Kids families living in poverty in the Ocala National Forest may not have the means to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. 

For the month of June on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays the Friends of SoZo Kids provide volunteers to staff this summer program hosted by the Help Agency of the Forest, our frontlines partner serving SoZo Kids.

The Help Agency of the Forest Inc., our frontline partner working with the Kids and families we serve, assists Marion County when children in the Forest are removed and placed into foster care.

Friends of SoZo Kids helps ensure that all the kids in the Forest have a happy holiday and receive a gift.
