2025 Mission Spotlight: Project Focus
Project Focus
Project Focus is a non-profit organization established to support and provide programs and services through a unique learning community to assist young adults with disabilities.
Project Focus benefits the existing programs of Focus Academy, Focus Café, Focus Forward, as well as new and future initiatives for young adults with developmental disabilities.
Focus Academy
Established in 2013, Focus Academy provides innovative charter middle school, high school, and transition programs for students in sixth grade through age 22 that infuses social skills therapies into the curriculum. All students participate in drama therapy and in visual and performing arts classes, as well as strong academic classes that are tailored to individual learning needs. The Transition Program builds on the success of the high school, providing students that have completed 12th grade additional training in job skills and independent living skills.
Focus Cafe
Located inside the Temple Terrace Family Recreation Complex, the Café is a fully functioning non-profit business offering beverages and snacks to patrons and the public. It is staffed by Focus Academy Transition Program students, who learn valuable skills such as inventory, customer service, using a cash register, and more.
