Mission

THE ORLANDO/ORANGE COUNTY COMPACT, INC IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION ORGANIZED & OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY TO PROMOTE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH - ESPECIALLY THE LESS ADVANTAGED - TO BECOME PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY AND PART OF THE MAINSTREAM OF THE ORLANDO COMMUNITYCOMPACT was officially launched in April 1989 with  a pilot program of 15 students and 15 volunteer mentors at Jones High School. COMPACT's initial purpose, which it continues to stress, is the successful completion of high school. Our volunteers "mentor" students who are identified as being dropout candidates and our objective is to keep them involved and engaged in school towards high school graduation. Over our 30 years of operation COMPACT has touched the lives of more than 14,000 students. Since inception, COMPACT has evolved to include not only high school students but middle and elementary school students as well.  There is a different objective at each level of education, with the elementary focus being centered on improving of reading skills and at the middle school level, study skills, time management and behavior.

COMPACT

The mission of Orlando/Orange County COMPACT is to function as an education and business partnership assisting underachieving, disadvantaged or challenged students, encouraging them to stay in school and reach their maximum potential.  Our vision is that all COMPACT students become responsible, contributing members of society.
COMPACT is first and foremost a dropout prevention program that stresses the reinforcement of core subjects, service learning, goal setting, study skills, career exploration, social responsibility and civic awareness. The program strives to select students who fit one or more of the following characteristics: overage for the grade level, low grades and/or test scores, poor attendance, irresponsible behavior, low self esteem and those with personal and/or family problems. These characteristics affect students at all levels of schooling, elementary, middle and high school. COMPACT also attracts students who may be the first in their family to graduate high school and/or the first to seriously consider college as an option post high school.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

COMPACT's number one priority is to encourage young people to remain in school through high school graduation. This was our first goal when COMPACT was organized in 1989 and it continues to be our driving motivation. We continue to encounter students who will be "...the first in their family to graduate high school.", or the first in their family "...to attempt to enter college."We feel that the success of Orange County Public School's graduation rate  improvement (mid 70%-ile in 1989 to the mid 90%-ile currently) can be attributed to the involvement of volunteer mentors through the COMPACT program.If we want to continue to provide Central Florida with positive, contributing members of our society as a whole, we must continue to support our young people through mentoring activities to help students realize the worth of an education.

First to raise funds to continue to support the operations of the organization, either through grants, support from our business partners, fund raising programs and contributions from the general public.Secondly to continue to seek out school locations that are willing to have volunteers work with some of their struggling students.Thirdly, to continue to offer incentives to students who have through their hard work have become the students they envision through successful attainment of specific goals.

Our capabilities include a willing public that is looking for a method to get involved, needy students who want to become successful but do not quite know how or do not have a support mechanism that can help guide them and professionals (teachers and counselors) who are will to help us make the match between a needy student and a willing volunteer.
