Best Foot Forward referrals are accepted throughout the year on a rolling basis. While we try our best to accept as many students as possible, openings vary depending on caseloads and a referral could be waitlisted. Priority is placed on 3rd, 8th, and 9th-grade students.
Eligible students require the following:
1) Students in kindergarten through 12th grade, with priority given to 3rd, 8th and 9th grades.
2) Students with an open DCF case, living in Out-of-Home Placement:
a) Foster Home
b) Group Home
c) Relative (Not with mother or father)
d) Non-Relative
3) Students must be attending a traditional, public school. No charter or alternative schools.
4) Because need exceeds capacity within our caseloads, eligibility does not guarantee enrollment.
If interested, please complete and submit the referral and authorization forms to Debbie at dellman@bestfoot.org.
