About Friends of Northside:

We are a global organization that serves locally, adopting pockets of poverty and launching what we call ‘Friends Communities’.

Our community programs include: in-school student support, after school programs, literacy, Adult GED completion, English as a Second Language classes, job readiness training and home repair.

GatorServe

Friends of Northside is working on preparing a new building for themselves in the Near Northside neighborhood that will allow them to expand their programming to serve many more residents. GatorServe volunteers working with Friends of Northside will help to sort and discard old furniture and other items that were left behind by previous tenants. This work is crucial as it makes way for the contractors to begin renovation of the space for its new purpose.
