The mission of Best Foot Forward is to empower foster care youth to maximize their educational outcomes by providing essential academic guidance and support.

The BEST FOOT FORWARD FOUNDATION is the only nonprofit organization in Palm Beach County dedicated to the educational success of youth who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned and have entered the foster care system. By empowering children in foster care, Best Foot Forward helps avoid the all-too-common negative outcomes many experience. Those include:
54% drop out of high school
97% drop out of college
40% of 18- to 22-year-olds have been homeless and/or “couch surfed.”
40% have been arrested and 30% have been in jail or detention

Our programs support, guide and empower foster care youth, giving them every opportunity to succeed in elementary, middle, high school and beyond. Best Foot Forward is committed to building promising futures for foster care youth and helping each student reach their full potential.
