Ranger Good Works and Young At Art Museum
May 8, 2025
Ranger Good Works and Young At Art Museum have a 12-year partnership and together are a driving force for arts-based learning in Dillard Elementary and North Fork Elementary.
Each year, new theme-based learning programs that align with the Broward County School System are created through this partnership. This partnership includes a focus on world-famous artists, such as Romero Brito, and allows students to express their creativity through their interpretation of the artists’ work.
The art program, its management, oversight, development, preparation, delivery, and documentation are developed through the Young At Art Museum leadership team. The program is approved and funded by Ranger Good Works, including materials, costs, and field trips. The art program also includes a Year-End Art Exhibition and Showcase for parents and teachers.
Student school attendance is higher than before the program existed. School children love to use this opportunity to stimulate their intellectual and emotional needs in a fun and interactive environment.

This experience will continue to fill the students’ treasure chest full of great life experiences. In 2013 we first partnered with Code.org for the Official Hour of Code, a Global Computer Science Education Week initiative to encourage youth to learn basic coding.
“The Hour of Code is a global movement introducing tens of millions of
students worldwide to computer science, inspiring kids to learn more,
breaking stereotypes, and leaving them feeling empowered.
What is the Hour of Code?
A one-hour introduction to computer science.
The Hour of Code began as a one-hour
coding challenge to give students a fun first
introduction to computer science and has
become a global learning event, celebration,
and awareness event.
An annual global event. The Hour of Code
takes place every year during Computer
Science Education Week, the first week in
December. With a huge groundswell of support
and attention, it’s an ideal time for schools
and districts to put the spotlight on computer
science programs and expand opportunities.” Code.org
Today, over 100 million students around the world have participated in this initiative. As a technology solutions company Ranger Technical Resources continues to contribute by sending mentors to local schools.
We are happy to say that since 2014 we expanded to include the entire elementary school. Over eight hundred students from Dillard Elementary participated in a Computer Science related activity. As you can see the number of students we are encouraging has increased due to our community’s involvement.
In 2017 we will have close to 1000 students enrolled at Dillard Elementary School. We need all of the helping hands we can to keep up the great momentum. Please join our volunteer team for the Hour of Code on Friday, December 8th. Click here to sign up. Thank you for your continued support! Volunteer today!

Join us: Career City at Dillard Elementary is Wednesday, May 17, 2017
Please join Ranger Good Works in bringing the “city of Ft. Lauderdale” to the students of Dillard Elementary. Students will see firsthand what it feels like to take a walk through a safe and inviting city which has been created just for them. Students will learn about various professions and many of our local industries during their walk. They will engage with professionals and have the chance to ask questions in a comfortable environment. They will also step out of Career City with a road map to future possibilities.
With your help we will be able to motivate the youth and show them that through hard work and academic achievement, professional success is an option that can be attained right down the street!
Please participate by sharing your success story and representing your industry, field of work or organization.
{IMPORTANT FACTS }
- 98% of the students walk to school, are from single parent homes and get their food intake while they are attending school.
- Most of the Dillard Elementary students have never traveled outside of a five-mile radius.
- Many of the students have never had the opportunity to walk into a real grocery store, an office supply store, a bank, a flower shop or even a restaurant.
- The students are sweet, friendly and well behaved. The students have a lack of exposure, they want and need a chance to learn and grow.
Please join us!
