Florida's Hometown U.S.A. Program, Inc. was established in 1986 as an educational initiative to teach Florida's youth the importance of volunteer service. Students from around the state are selected to participate in this program each year. The program's mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of Florida's youth and to assist them in achieving their highest potential as they grow to become confident and caring individuals who show a commitment to volunteer work, leadership and standards of excellence.
