About Touching Miami With Love, Non-Profit Organization

The non-profit organization Touching Miami With Love provides holistic year-round programs for approximately 400 students every weekday. It also provides services on most Teacher Planning Days, Spring Break, and Summer Vacations. By providing layers of services, the Touching Miami With Love staff ensures children get the support they need to succeed in and after school.

All students in K-5th grade enjoy group literacy, fitness, and devotional time for their spiritual development. Touching Miami With Love's in-school case managers and instructional advocates ensure strong connections in the classroom. Advocates meet with teachers, counselors, and school staff.

All students have homework support, including access to technology. Students needing additional academic support get individualized reading intervention and math tutoring with TML Tutors. Children experiencing social-emotional struggles meet with social work interns through long-standing partnerships with the schools of social work at Barry University and FIU.

Youth in 6-12th grades have daily access to academic support, emotional support, arts and culture, sports, civic engagement, technology, college readiness, and job training.

One night each week at both TML locations is dedicated to spiritual development. The evening begins with a sit-down meal and time of sharing among staff, volunteers, and students. With all the fun of a traditional youth group, students learn about the God who loves them and are challenged to respond.

Students tackle tough issues like systemic injustices and participate in annual volunteer events to impact global poverty. Additionally, youth look forward to our yearly out-of-town spiritual retreats for OASIS Camp each spring break with TML partnerships at branches.

TML programs alone are often not enough to break strongholds. Partnerships provide intensive therapy to children and youth at TML. The University of Miami’s Mailman Center for Child Development staff has therapy rooms at both TML locations and their staff for parent-child interactive therapy at each location.
