Our Mission Statement

The overall 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:

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.
