At Supportive Equity Connections of Tampa Bay (SECofTampaBay), our mission is clear and unwavering: to drive sustainable, community-led change that expands access, opportunity, and equity. Grounded in collaboration, innovation, and accountability, we work to ensure that opportunity is not a privilege—but a shared right.

Founded in 2021, SECofTampaBay operates at the intersection of strategy and service. We mobilize a committed network of staff, volunteers, and community partners whose lived experience and professional expertise directly inform our work. This intentional approach ensures our programs are responsive, relevant, and rooted in the real needs of the communities we serve.

Our impact is measurable and meaningful—but our work is far from finished. Advancing equity requires constant engagement, reflection, and action. We remain committed to listening to community voices, dismantling systemic barriers, and building pathways that elevate those who have historically been underserved and overlooked.

We define success not only by outcomes, but by lives changed and systems shifted. Through youth development, community engagement, and advocacy, we foster environments where individuals are empowered, voices are amplified, and belonging is the standard—not the exception.

As we move forward, our commitment only deepens. We invite you to stand with us in this work, because lasting change is built together. Together, we can reimagine what’s possible and create a more equitable Tampa Bay for all.
