Please do not just read it — help carry it. Here is how every supporter can take action right now: 1. Share this proposal directly with: • Your Florida state legislators • County commissioners in your county • School board members • Local mayors and city officials • Community business leaders willing to endorse youth programs 2. Request official endorsements: Ask your county commissioners, local leaders, and organizations to publicly support preserving and restructuring the Florida Youth ChalleNGe Academy. 3. Send it to media outlets: Forward this proposal to local newspapers, TV stations, and radio stations across Florida so the issue gains statewide visibility. 4. Contact the Governor’s Office: A copy is already being sent to Governor Ron DeSantis, but additional voices matter. Respectfully urge state leadership to review and act. 5. Mobilize alumni and families: If FLYCA impacted your life, share your testimony publicly. Personal stories create pressure that statistics alone cannot. 6. Forward it beyond Florida: Other Youth ChalleNGe supporters nationwide may be facing similar closures. This can become a national preservation model. Closing Statement: This is no longer just a petition — it is a statewide movement to preserve a proven program that changes lives. Florida can lead the nation in showing how we save youth programs, not surrender them.
