Be Kind, Be Smart, BE PROUD

The mission of the Be Proud Foundation is to support youth in discovering their own thinking errors, misconceptions and gaps in knowledge to increase their chances for a successful life. 

​ Our caring, trauma informed staff:

• Provide youth development programs that encourage logical thinking, personal responsibility, and good citizenship to troubled and/or economically disadvantaged youth and their family;

• Assist youth in enhancing their attendance, academic skills, grades and/or behavior in order to be promoted to the next grade, re-connect with school district, or graduate;

• Intervene to help prevent neglect, abuse and exploitation of children and promote, support, and encourage the physical, mental, and overall well-being of children;

• Help youth set goals and overcome problems to avoid dropping out of school, dependency, unemployment, delinquency, poverty, and an inability to reach their full potential; and

• Guide youth in short and long term career exploration and planning in order to enter the labor force and pursue enrollment in college, the military or other post-secondary education.
