Jacksonville nonprofit draws children from screens with fishing, gardening programs

NEWS

🎣💙 Meet this month’s Positively JAX winner, Sheronda Holzendorf, founder of We COPE Inc!
What started as a way for this “boy mom” to find a positive activity for her son has grown into a program bringing kids and families together through fishing, outdoor education and conservation.
We Cope encourages young people to put down the screens, get outside and learn new skills — all while building an appreciation for the environment and creating meaningful connections with their families. The impact is clear: Parents aren’t just dropping their kids off — they’re joining in, learning alongside them and making memories together.
Congratulations, Sheronda, for helping Northeast Florida families discover the joy of the outdoors and inspiring the next generation to protect our planet. 👏💙
