- Helping at-risk boys at the Safe Harbor Maritime Academy in Jacksonville
-
Crowley employees support Safe Harbor Maritime Academy, formerly known as Safe Harbor Boys Home, which was founded in 1984 in Jacksonville. The residential, Christian school uses the waterfront as an educational facility for at-risk teenage boys. The home provides a safe, stable, structured, alternative home environment. Boys live aboard vessels, learning seamanship and maritime skills as well as studying for a high school diploma.
- Supporting Heart for Children, a Jacksonville children’s community center
-
Heart for Children is a non-profit community center located in Jacksonville’s Eastside community. Established in 1998, Heart for Children has grown from a summer camp for low-income children to an after-school community center for urban youth. The center is located next door to a John Love Elementary School. Crowley employees often volunteer at the center and host celebrations during the summer and the holidays. Crowley also provides financial assistance to the center.
“Due to HFC being in a poor and low income community, we have had a lot of ups and downs financially,” said Joyce Brinson, founder. “But thanks to Crowley, other businesses and personal donors, we've been able to continue our programs.”
