Benefits
Benefits
In 1994, Robert O’Bryant founded Mahogany Youth Corporation, a 501c3 Non Profit, with the mission to empower Miami-Dade youth through outdoor experiences and mentorship. Through the help of our sponsors and strategic corporate partners, what started out as a way to mentor children through fishing has grown into an organization impacting tens of thousands of Miami-Dade youth over the past several decades. We’ve seen our organization reach across several generations of youth as our students have grown up and moved on to pursue college and lead exciting careers.
With our sponsor support, we serve 1,500+ Miami-Dade and Broward youth annually with a variety of outdoors and environmental experiences that expand their minds to new career opportunities and make them better citizens of the environment.
