Our History

The story begins in 1896. This was the year the City of Miami was founded with approximately one-third of the signatures of the city charter being black men (which was no accident considering their predominant role in the early building of the city). Read more.

Reviews

I had an awesome time donating time to the beach clean up. We learnt so much while helping the natural flora & fauna.I’ll definitely do it again.
With a local festival I volunteered with car parking in exchange for event entry tickets. A great exchange of energy!! I’d recommend giving back whenever possible.
