BAC serves more than 3,000 individuals with disabilities each year through innovative services across its various programs. It is the largest employer of individuals with disabilities in Brevard County and the 27th largest AbilityOne producing agency in the national set-aside program providing contracted services to our federal government.   

We are a professional organization working toward improving, protecting, and supporting the teaching profession, and the students and teachers it impacts. The Brevard Federation of Teachers is committed to ensuring every child receives a quality public school education. In doing so, we believe the professionals who devote their lives to providing quality education should be treated with respect and integrity. The Brevard Federation of Teachers represents teachers, and is represented by classroom teachers. We work to build community awareness of education related issues through relationships with community stakeholders and advocating for quality public education.

"The leadership of the Brevard Federation of Teachers represents professionals with a wide range of political views.  We recognize and value the differences of opinions across our membership, and appreciate that we come together for the shared value of improving our local, public schools.

The Brevard Federation of Teachers will never adopt any resolution or take a stand on a matter that is not directly related to the education of children.  While our affiliates may choose to take stands on matters not related to education, these views do not necessarily reflect the opinions of BFT leadership or our members."

We are dedicated to bringing help in the toughest of times, offering encouragement and hope to those in the midst of a horrible battle. When a child is diagnosed with cancer it can devastate a family with fear and uncertainty. ​Brittany’s Wish is standing in the gap by helping ease the burden while spreading awareness. Assisting families financially and with other acts of kindness is our top priority. Families become overwhelmed and burdened by the extra financial strain and in most cases loss of income due to the need to be by their child’s side. We journey with our families throughout treatment. Our Cheer Gift Program provides a much-needed distractions from all the bad and scary stuff during treatment. Gifts are delivered to our young patients throughout treatment and siblings are included on their birthdays and Christmas. Siblings are also affected emotionally and are faced with many lifestyle changes. When a child completes their treatment, we help them celebrate with an End of Chemo celebration.

Our Mission

Crosswinds’ Mission statement, Crosswinds Youth Services creates opportunities for young people to succeed, embodies our organization’s primary goal of helping young people strengthen skills, develop leadership abilities, and reach their full potential.

Our History

Crosswinds began in the 1970’s with a group of concerned community leaders who came together to discuss how Brevard County, Florida could respond to the increasing number of runaway and homeless youth in the community. The tragic results of not helping these young people had become apparent when several graves were unearthed in the county. These graves contained the bodies of children who had run away from home and had been murdered.

The initial group of community leaders responding to this terrible tragedy included judges, a county commissioner, and Dr. Robert Lehton, a psychologist, who brought to the table his experience counseling runaway youth and establishing the first youth shelter in the state of Louisiana. Dr. Lehton is the Past Chair of Crosswinds’ Board of Directors, and the long-standing volunteer for whom Crosswinds’ shelter facility is now named. Out of the efforts of this group of volunteers, the organization now known as Crosswinds opened an emergency youth shelter in 1974.

Over the years, Crosswinds has grown to include a wide range of programs and services for young people and their families. In early 2002, Crosswinds opened a new and expanded emergency shelter in Cocoa, Florida, moving the program from Merritt Island, where it had been located for nearly 30 years. Crosswinds administrative offices and other programs were also consolidated on the Cocoa campus to maximize resources and provide better accessibility to services for youth, families, law enforcement, and other community organizations.

Crosswinds is committed to providing quality services and has been recognized nationally, regionally, statewide and locally. For example, Crosswinds was named 2003 Agency of the Year by the National Network for Youth, 2003 Organization of the Year by Brevard County’s major newspaper, FLORIDA TODAY, and recipient of the Melbourne – Palm Bay Area Chamber of Commerce’s Non-Profit of the Year Award in 2008.

An unfortunate product of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are the many thousands of men and women who, like generations before them, become wounded, injured or ill as a result of their service. For nine decades DAV has been empowering those veterans to lead healthy and successful lives after leaving military service.

Our mission simply is one of service and advocacy on behalf of the men and women who put their lives on the line to ensure our safety, to protect our freedoms and cherished way of life. What is right for our nation and our citizens is to take care of those who served. We do this by never forgetting their sacrifices. We do this by keeping our promise to them: to provide the resources and services they need to enjoy the best quality of life possible.

We are a strong and influential advocate for veterans and fight to ensure they receive the full range of services and protections they deserve. We accomplish this by providing free professional assistance to all veterans and their families in obtaining benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and advocating for their rights on Capitol Hill,and we do it all for free, without any government funding.

As an organization of veterans serving veterans, DAV has a proven track record of results. Each year we assist with more than 300,000 claims to obtain needed benefits through 100 offices throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. No other organization has helped more veterans lead high-quality lives after service than ours. Our National Service Officers counsel and assist veterans and their families in filing claims for VA disability compensation, rehabilitation and education programs, pensions, death benefits, employment and training programs. They provide free services, such as information seminars and counseling and community outreach activities Our Transition Service Officers provide benefits counseling and assistance to service members filing initial claims for VA benefits. By filing compensation claims at separation centers where service medical records and examination facilities are readily available, we are able to provide prompt service to these future veterans.

Because the need is so great, DAV is assisting more veterans than ever. Our Mobile Service Offices are reaching veterans in small towns and communities far from our National Service Offices. We are offering our services and expertise to those men and women as they prepare to leave the military service and return to civilian life. Our Voluntary Services Programs are giving more aid to hospitalized veterans and community support than ever before. Our nationwide Transportation Network continues to log countless miles helping injured and ill veterans get to their appointments at VA medical centers. Our Celebrity Entertainment Program is expanding to brighten the lives and bring comfort to those lonely veterans at VA hospitals.

The children of Brevard County are our greatest and most important resource. Their earliest experiences set the stage for their future success in school and in life. At the Early Learning Coalition of Brevard County, we strive to make certain that children and families have access to the quality, affordable early learning programs and services necessary to better ensure their successful futures.

We know that children are actively learning wherever they are – at home, in early learning programs, and in their communities. Parents are undeniably children's first and most important teachers. With this in mind, we work hard to maintain a quality early learning system with programs that respect families' individual needs.

Tony's Message
from the Executive Director
As the new executive director of Keep BrevardBeautiful, I know people want to live and do business in a beautiful community. Our residents and businesses are interested in cultural offerings, schools, entertainment, sports, and the environment, not only the trees-and-plants part of the environment, but the living environment. When people consider relocating here or opening a business and recruiting employees, the living environment of the community is a crucial component of their decision.

For the past 30 years, Keep Brevard Beautiful has worked tirelessly to keep our communities clean, with a focus on eradicating litter. KBB educates the citizens of our county about recycling and diminishing waste and strives to assist with attracting businesses and tourists to our lovely communities. Our goal is to cultivate an area our citizens are proud to call home and our visitors want to return to year after year.

As an affiliate of our national organization, Keep America Beautiful, we all work together to keep our communities clean, safe and vital today and tomorrow. In the months and years to come we will seek to further involve our youth in our programs. After all, they will be the ones to carry KBB's mission into the future.

(Surgeon General Antonia Novello, as quoted in Domestic Violence: Battered Women, publication of the Reference Department of the Cambridge Public Library, Cambridge, MA).
• Batterers can be successful professionals such as doctors, lawyers, corporate executives, salesmen, and teachers as well as skilled and unskilled laborers. (Based on Lenore Walkers theories explained in the book, The Battered Women, 1979).
• A batterer’s control of the family’s money can stop victims from ending the relationship or make the money situation harder for the woman if she leaves. (Peter Jaffe, David Wolfe & Susan Kaye Wilson. Children of Battered Women, 1990).
• There are three times as many animal shelters in the United States than there are shelters for battered women. (Senate Judiciary Committee Hearings. 1990).

Our History

Park Avenue Christian Academy was founded in 1978 as a ministry of Park Avenue Baptist Church.  Today we serve approximately 300 students in pre-school through 8th grade.  We celebrate over 30 years of service to the families of northern Brevard County, and look forward to God’s plans for continued ministry.  PACA has a heritage of academic and spiritual training that is respected in the community. 

Our Philosophy

Park Avenue Christian Academy believes that the objective of the Christian school is to purposefully, deliberately, and unapologetically frame every facet of a child’s educational experience through the Truth of God’s word. Our goal is to develop a Christ-centered worldview in every student; which will become the basis for their life-long, personal commitment to transform our world for Christ’s glory.

We also believe that the Scriptures make it very clear that parents are responsible for their child’s education. Therefore, PACA does not seek to supplant the role of the parents or the influence of the Church; rather PACA exists to partner with these institutions so that children can experience a consistent and coherent worldview education. The family, the church and the school must work together to help each Christian young person realize that they are called to a life that glorifies God and edifies their fellow man.

Our Vision

Park Avenue Christian Academy endeavors to educate young people to know God, understand themselves, and transform their community for Christ’s glory.

Our Mission

As a means of realizing our vision, Park Avenue Christian Academy helps the families of our community train their children to pursue excellence in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man.
