As a school counselor, and administrator, I have the opportunity to see first hand how BFF can have an immediate positive impact on a foster care student's life. Ensuring academic success requires support that goes beyond the classroom. The commitment and time provided is outstanding. BFF encourages success for students at risk and they work hand in hand with school counselors, administrators , and teachers to accomplish this. They deliver continuous assistance week in and week out furnishing the necessary tools children need to persevere, achieve a diploma, and attend post secondary school. Whether elementary, middle, or high, the goal is the same; support, being there to help these children make it.
Memorable for me is their continued correspondence with students after they have moved on. The staff and students share mutual respect and encouragement for a fulfilling future. This wonderful organization is growing each day and making a huge difference in the future of many.
