Removing Barriers.

Supporting Teachers.

So Students Can Thrive.

Providing classroom resources, care closet support, and professional development so educators can meet the real needs of their students.

FUELS empowers Florida educators by removing financial barriers to essential classroom resources and supporting inclusive learning environments for underserved students. We work alongside teachers to ensure they have the tools, materials, and support they need so every student can learn, grow, and thrive.

FUELS serves as a vital resource for Florida educators by helping ensure they have the tools, materials, and support needed to meet the diverse needs of their students. We work alongside teachers, school staff, and communities to bridge the gap between what is provided and what is truly needed in today’s classrooms.

It’s no secret that teachers across Florida are being asked to do more with less. Many lack access to the essential resources required to support their students academically, socially, and emotionally. Too often, these tools are in short supply or only available if teachers can afford them out of pocket, creating inequities that directly impact student success.

Through classroom resources, care closet support, and professional development, FUELS helps remove these barriers so educators can focus on what matters most: supporting their students, creating inclusive learning environments, and helping every child reach their fullest potential.

Our Programs: What We Provide.

  • EDUCATION ESSENTIALS

    Students with an Individualized Education plan (IEP) often need additional resources. They might need to have classroom items labeled, charts made, or printed instructions. Seems simple, but at minimum it requires extra supplies like printer ink, printer paper, lamination devices and sheets, and velcro. Many teachers don't have any access to these resources or are limited to a certain amount. They end up using their own personal funds, if they can, to provide these basic essentials. Even these efforts are undermined by the simple fact that Florida’s teachers are the lowest paid teachers in the U.S.

  • SENSORY SUPPORT

    We provide flexible seating options, assistive technology, noise canceling headphones, slant boards, color overlays, and a variety of sensory items (i.e. lighting, stimming support tools, bean bags, trampolines) to help teachers build the best possible education setting for each of their students.

  • NON-STANDARD EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT

    Students can only do their best when their physical and safety needs are met first. Knowing this, we also help in providing the most basic of their life needs: clothing, shoes, and nutritional snacks through Care Closets.

  • PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS

    We have provided scholarships to 183 participants so far, and are constantly looking for opportunities to partner with education providers so we can provide scholarships to professional development, continuing education and specialized workshops on topics pertinent to educators. Learn more.
