Grace Place for Children and Families received a $200,000 grant from the Foglia Family Foundation to expand its internship program for students in Naples. The funding will support paid internships for high school students while adding new opportunities for adult education participants. The nonprofit also plans to introduce second-year placements for returning high school seniors, connecting them with community partners for career-focused experience. Grace Place serves more than 1,300 individuals annually through education, workforce training and family support programs aimed at long-term economic mobility.
