Meet Our Founder & Executive Director
Mrs. Nadie Mondestin
Mrs. Nadie Mondestin is the founder and Executive Director of HYCCF — the driving force behind the organization's establishment and growth. With a vision to create a welcoming and empowering space for Haitian American families in South Florida, she built HYCCF from the ground up into a multi-location, nationally recognized nonprofit serving hundreds of children and families. Her leadership is rooted in community, shaped by compassion, and guided by an unwavering belief that every family deserves access to quality care and real opportunity.
Under her leadership, HYCCF has successfully engaged over 5,000 people through community outreach and has developed programs that address education, employment, and community placement — touching lives at every stage of growth.
A Trusted Nonprofit Built for Our Community
Haitian Youth and Community Center of Florida Inc. is a state and federally funded not-for-profit corporation and a 501(c)(3) membership organization. We have experience in developing and operating community enhancement programs that meet the needs of the community.
HYCCF receives state and federal funding, which reflects regulatory accountability and deep community trust. Our 501(c)(3) status means donations are tax-deductible, contributions go directly to programs, and the organization is held to the highest standards of nonprofit governance. This structure enables HYCCF to keep services accessible to all eligible families, regardless of income.
Stronger Together: Our Community Partnerships
HYCCF has successfully engaged over 2,000 people through community outreach and collaboration with other prominent organizations that serve Haitian children and their families in Miami.
HYCCF collaborates with local, state, and national organizations to address education and employment, and community placement. These partnerships extend the reach of every program, connecting families to a broader network of support services — including information and referral, advocacy, and legal referral — so that no family navigates their challenges alone.

HYCCF's programs meet rigorous national standards for curriculum, staff qualifications, safety, and child development outcomes. For parents choosing a childcare provider, it is independent proof that HYCCF delivers high-quality, trustworthy care — not just a claim, but a verified credential.
