About Us

Feed the Lambs Enrichment Program, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to serving underprivileged, low-income youth and families throughout Indian River County. We proudly serve students from Gifford, Oslo, and now, Wabasso, thanks to our exciting new partnership with Coastal Church. This is our first year in Wabasso, and parents are already raving about their children's academic success!

Founded in the 1990s by Mr. J. Ralph Lundy, the program initially focused on after-school tutoring to support children unable to access comparable programs due to financial constraints. Since then, we've expanded to offer education, workforce development, mentorship, and recreation services to over 100+ students annually.

In partnership with Oslo Middle School and now Coastal Church, we’ve seen remarkable results: 93% of students reached grade level in Math and 95% in English during the 2022-2023 school year. Our summer and afterschool programs also provide critical support for families who can’t afford private care, ensuring children have safe spaces to learn and grow.

A majority of the families we assist are not able to afford the summer educational programming, tutoring, and after school/summer custodial care for their children. Our programs provide qualified and capable individuals to tutor, mentor, and teach, which is vital to the success of our children. Our targeted programs assist in filling a void of services for underserved and disenfranchised individuals, specifically:

Building Parental Capacity

Our P.I.E. (Parents Improving Education) Tutoring Program is designed to build positive parenting practices in the target areas we serve. Currently these are individual tutoring sessions as needed by parents. This tutoring is designed to improve parents' skills in math, reading, and technology. We are beginning a collaboration with Literacy Services who will assist us with their Adult Tutoring program skills.

Quality Programs

After school and summer enrichment programs go beyond academic tutoring. Our new "Boys Will be Boys - Striving for Success": is based on our Respect, Responsibility, Rules (RRR) initiative. In addition, it covers appropriate dress, good health, hygiene and financial responsibility.

Another new program is "Girls Will be Girls - Seeking a Pathway to Fulfillment" which also addresses our RRR initiative, covers specific girls' issues related to self-esteem, respect for oneself, and looking for approval and "love" in all the wrong places.

The 2024 Summer Program will be offering special Middle-School-level learning opportunities, such as Art, Physics & Technology, Microscope uses in Biology and/or Electronics.

We offer more than just a set of activities; we deliver high energy and interactive experiences.
