Eckerd Connects’ Success Awards help children, youth, and adults overcome barriers by offering them a chance to pursue their education and career dreams! These awards recognize youth and adults who have gone above and beyond to improve their lives through Eckerd Connects programs, ranging from foster care and wraparound services to Job Corps education and career training, workforce development, and more. Our goal is to position these youth and young adults for success.
