New license plate finally coming to Florida drivers. Here’s a look

“Take Stock in Children” has reached the 3,000 pre-sale voucher threshold needed to put its “Mentoring Changes Lives” specialty license plate into production.And that puts the plate one step closer toward hitting the streets.The Florida nonprofit told News 6 that the state will now manufacture the plates, which are expected to become available in about 90 days. Once purchased, $25 from each annual plate fee will go to Take Stock in Children to support mentoring services across Florida’s 67 counties.The Legislature approved the plate in 2022, though the organization had until last month to reach the voucher goal. A donor covered the cost of vouchers, allowing supporters to claim them for free.“Every one of those vouchers is a promise to a young person who might be the first in their family to go to college,” said Bethany Lacey, the organization’s CEO.Founded in 1995, Take Stock in Children serves about 15,000 students annually with mentoring, college-readiness support and scholarships.
