Breaking the cycle

Beyond Our Kin's Education Support program is pivotal in breaking the cycle of disadvantage for foster youth. Recognizing the significant educational hurdles these young individuals face, our program is dedicated to improving educational outcomes, from high school attainment to college attendance rates. We provide a comprehensive suite of services including one-to-one tutoring, scholarships, and assistance with educational materials and homework support.

Fostering personal growth

Our initiative is built on the belief that education is the most powerful tool for fostering personal growth and opening doors to new opportunities. By offering targeted support, we aim to level the playing field for foster youth, ensuring they have the resources and guidance necessary to succeed academically and beyond.

Support Education

The Education Support program is more than academic assistance; it's a beacon of hope for foster youth. It represents a community's commitment to empowering these young individuals with the knowledge and skills they need for a brighter future.

What others are saying

    I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the Beyond Our Kin Foundation. It has been an amazing experience helping you put together fun activities and workshops for other foster youth. Events that help youth and volunteers feel supported by ensuring they have things that they need to feel like they belong and can succeed in doing anything they put their mind to. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of the support system that you have created through the foundation. I appreciate everything Beyond Our Kin has done and continue to do to support youth from the foster system.

    I’m forever grateful for Ms. Ava Walker and Beyond Our Kin. The organization provides various needed resources for our Youth in care, Transitional age youth & emancipated foster youth at our group homes! Ms. Ava’s passion to help our youth beat the negative statistics that face foster youth is truly unmatched! Beyond Our Kin is more than an organization, it’s a village of support for youth!
