The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Lao Tzu
The BEST FOOT FORWARD FOUNDATION is the only nonprofit organization in Palm Beach County specializing in improving the educational outcomes for youth in foster care. By working with children in foster care as they begin high school and through post secondary school, Best Foot Forward helps them avoid the all-too-common negative outcomes many experience. Those include:
- 46% high school graduation rate
- 50% unemployment rate
- 40% probability of being incarcerated; and
- 100% risk of substance abuse, domestic violence and poverty.
Our programs support, guide and empower youth in foster care, giving them every opportunity to succeed in high school and beyond. Whether it’s advocating on their behalf, connecting with other resources, or collaborating to achieve the best possible results, Best Foot Forward is committed to building promising futures for current and former foster youth. BFF is a 501(c)3 organization.
