The Ranger Good Works Mission
We aspire to be trusted and dependable friends to our local school communities’ most vulnerable populations.
Ranger Good Work’s mission is to empower under-resourced local school communities in Southern Florida through program and operational support, volunteerism, and fundraising initiatives. We envision a world in which all students at under-resourced schools in Southern Florida receive a quality, comprehensive education that enables them to compete with their peers both academically and socially.
We are fully committed to helping students reach their fullest potential while displaying values of honesty, loyalty, and dependability.
What We Do
Ranger Good Works empowers under-resourced local school communities in Southern Florida through program and operational support, volunteerism, and fundraising initiatives. The support we provide to our schools can be divided into three primary program areas: Fundamental Programs, After-School Programs, and Volunteer Programs.
Fundamental Programs
The more a child experiences, the broader their scope of the world will be. We want to help facilitate focus and stability.
After School Programs
Enabling students to become well-rounded individuals by providing community, stability and sense of belonging.
Community Exposure Programs
We often overlook social capital and its influence on a child’s ability to think critically. The more a child experiences the broader their scope of the world will be.
Volunteer Programs
Our volunteers provide our students with positive adult influences, encouraging and supporting kids through fun interaction and good works.

Why We Do What We Do
Join Our Commitment to Making a Change
We serve under-resourced schools because we firmly believe in the unprecedented potential of every single student, and aspire to reverse the impact of the difficult, unfair circumstances that hold many students back from reaching their potential.
Through our work, we’ve been privileged with the opportunity to truly get to know the children at the schools we serve. These interactions constantly reveal how much there is to truly love about these children, and despite this, how much love and support they still need.
The Schools We Serve
Many children at the schools we serve lack almost everything that other kids enjoy like family and the necessities of life. We are currently providing support for Dillard Elementary and North Fork Elementary School, both located in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
Our goal is to support these under-resourced local schools that are in great financial need. For example, unfortunately, many of the students we serve at Dillard Elementary are living in difficult circumstances beyond their control – with over 80% of students hailing from single-parent families, and a large percentage currently being raised by grandparents or great grandparents. Additionally, more than 100 families at Dillard Elementary are considered homeless and yet have children attending the school.
North Fork Elementary students face similar circumstances. North Fork serves a predominantly lower socio-economic community of more than 428 ambitious young students. The school’s purpose is to provide a stimulating, safe and optimal learning environment that sets high expectations for each student to become creative, responsible and productive individuals.
By acting as a trustworthy, dependable, and resourceful friend to our local school communities, we’re transforming the lives and securing the phenomenal potential of students who need and deserve it most.
