Solving Poverty Through Innovation: Why Dumesle Julien Drives Our Mission Forward ๐Ÿ’ปโœจ

At Take Stock in Children, breaking the cycle of poverty requires a powerful mix of mentorship, education, and behind-the-scenes innovation. Nobody understands that better than our Associate Director of IT Data Systems, Dumesle Julien.

We asked Dumesle why he is officially reserving his "Mentoring Changes Lives" specialty license plate voucher:

"The reason why I like to work for Take Stock in Children is because I truly believe that poverty can be solved through education, innovation, and technology. I feel like Take Stock in Children encapsulates that ethos in its purest and most impactful form.

By providing opportunities to low-income students, we are giving them a real chance to uplift themselves and their families out of poverty. Through mentorship, education, support systems, and access to resources, these students are empowered to create better futures not only for themselves, but for future generations as well.

What inspires me most is knowing that the work we do has a ripple effect. A single opportunity can change the trajectory of a student's life, their family's future, and potentially even the communities and world around them. That mission is something I deeply believe in, and it is why I am passionate about contributing my skills and work to this organization." โœจ

Let's get these plates on the road: When you secure your specialty plate, you expand the ripple effect Dumesle is talking about by introducing our mission to new people every single day you drive.

The first 3,000 community champions to sign up get their presale voucher for FREE! Join Dumesle and the rest of our team in driving change across Florida. ๐Ÿš— ๐Ÿ’™

Outstanding Senior Spotlight: Landen ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŽ“

Weโ€™re proud to recognize Landen from Take Stock in Children of Citrus County for his dedication, leadership, and hard work throughout high school.

A senior at Lecanto High School, Landen has already earned 30 college credit hours while balancing two part time jobs and staying involved in his school and community through jazz band and volunteer work with several local organizations.
