Rhonda D. Rogers

My career path goes way back to being a summer camp counselor - I've always loved working with youth. I worked my way through college every summer at the Fuller Centers in Boca Raton, which at that time was called Florence Fuller Child Development Center. When I returned back from college, I started working there as after-school director and just kind of worked my way up. Over my 32 years in the nonprofit sector, I've worked with the Children's Service Council of Palm Beach County as a Program Officer and Grant Manager, and eventually became CEO of a nonprofit in Lake Worth called Lake Worth Residence Planning Group, which is now Family Impact. Then, shortly after leaving there for four and a half years, I decided to launch my own nonprofit in July of 2021, coming out of the pandemic. I really wanted to have the opportunity to do programming that I liked in the communities that I grew up in. I focus on South Palm Beach County - Delray, Boynton, and Boca, Green Acres area. We do mentoring for girls, STEM conferences and STEM activities in the summertime when they're out on summer break, and every Tuesday I work with senior citizens through a program called Aging Gracefully. My main areas of expertise are program planning, program development, fundraising, community partnership, and community organizing.
