Our Mission
BEST Kids empowers youth who are in foster care and at-risk to build healthy and successful futures through mentoring, college and career readiness and life skills programs.
Our GoalThis year's Giving Tuesday theme is
"Give the Gift of Access". By helping us raise $2,500 this #GivingTuesday, we can continue our mission-critical mentoring work, including our newly launched college and career readiness program, and give our youth an opportunity to build brighter and successful futures!
When you support us, your gift helps to open the door for our youth to have the stability, resources, and skills they need to achieve success as adults. |

Success Story
Faith & Terry:
Faith came to BEST Kids earlier this year and has been matched with her mentor, Terry, for around 4 months. Faith and Terry are a perfect match and have greatly enjoyed their time getting to know one another. In the short time that Faith has been in the program, Faith has gone to over ten BEST Kids Events and one of her best memories is the time they shared at the recent Heart of the Matter Fundraising Event! In fact, the pair painted some of the art pieces that were auctioned off at the event! Faith loves having a mentor like Terry because she allows Faith to be herself and to love who she is. Of the many activities they engage in together, their favorite one is to just walk in the park and talk about their day. Faith and Terry reached their top two mentoring goals of making sure Faith does her best in school and that they attend as many BEST Kids events as possible! We know that Faith and Terry are full steam ahead and we are excited to hear about what else they will achieve together! |
