The mission of Bea's Kids is to provide educational and personal development programs to children from low-income families so they will stay in school and break the cycle of poverty.
In Texas, 26 percent - more than one million youth - in grades K-12 are responsible for taking care of themselves after-school. Nationwide, more than 15 million school-age children are on their own after school. (Afterschool Alliance 2009)
Bea's Kids provides hundreds of Kindergarten through 12th grade students a safe, structured environment to receive assistance with homework, age-appropriate learning-based activities, personal development programs and the opportunity to practice self-discipline while building leadership skills.
Bea’s Kids Objectives:
• Encourage our students to stay in school
• Improve overall grades
• Build self-esteem
• Pass core subjects
• Graduate high school
• College readiness
• Higher aspirations for the future
"I believe in order for children to break away from a destructive cycle so often experienced by the disadvantaged, they must receive a good education and have a safe place to get help with their homework."
Bea Salazar, Founder/President
