OUR HISTORY
The SHAPE program was introduced in 4 participating South Florida high schools in 2002 as an initiative of the Mark J. Gordon Foundation. In October 2003, SHAPE, Inc. became an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and began its expansion in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. As of the 2017-2018 school year, SHAPE successfully operates in 13 schools in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties in Florida. Schools, teachers and students have reported positive results and the SHAPE Clubs have generated an enthusiastic response from school administrators, School Boards, government and community leaders including Florida Governor Rick Scott and former Florida Governors Charlie Crist and Jeb Bush. In 2008, SHAPE expanded its mission to include more facets of youth development. The program is on the brink of a new and exciting movement.
