Alejandra for Be Strong

The Be Strong After School Club (BSASC) is more than an after-school program,, it is a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and discover their potential. Offered at no cost to families, BSASC provides meaningful opportunities through homework assistance, creative writing, culinary arts, and other enriching experiences that encourage students to build confidence, express themselves, develop new skills, and recognize their unique strengths.

This Give Miami Day, Be Strong International is working to raise funds to expand the reach of BSASC and continue providing these essential services at no cost to children and families in underserved communities. Every contribution helps create opportunities for children to spend their afternoons in an environment filled with creativity, connection, encouragement, and care. Your support is an investment not only in a program, but in a child’s future.

Be Strong International’s mission is deeply meaningful to me because I believe every young person deserves to feel seen, valued, supported, and empowered to believe in their own potential. The work we do extends far beyond providing services, it is about showing up for our youth, creating safe spaces where they can thrive, and equipping them with the confidence and skills they need to navigate life.

One of the most meaningful aspects of this work is witnessing the way a young person can begin to see themselves differently when someone takes the time to listen, encourage them, and remind them that their voice matters. These moments may seem small, but they can have a profound and lasting impact on a child’s confidence, choices, and future.

That is why Give Miami Day matters to me. It is an opportunity to highlight what can happen when we choose to show up for our youth—consistently, compassionately, and intentionally. When we invest in children today, we help create stronger individuals, healthier families, and more resilient communities tomorrow.

I am proud to support Be Strong International and the transformative work being done to help young people grow stronger, build healthy relationships, develop essential life skills, and recognize the strength they already possess.

Together, we can show our youth that they matter, that they are not alone, and that their future is worth investing in. Together, we can help every child discover what it truly means to Be Strong.
