What We Do

Support built around a person, not a program.

We fund the whole path — from the first application to the day a scholar walks across a stage — with three kinds of support that work together.

01 · Scholarships

Tuition & Financial Support

We award direct financial support toward tuition, books, and fees for women pursuing degrees, certifications, and credentials — tailored to what each scholar needs to move forward.

Support for both traditional degree paths and vocational credentials
Applications reviewed by educators who know what real barriers look like
Awards renewed as scholars progress toward their goal

02 · Mentorship

People Who've Walked the Road

Every scholar is paired with a mentor for encouragement, accountability, and practical advice — from choosing courses to navigating financial aid to planning what comes after graduation.

One-on-one pairing for the length of a scholar's program
Regular check-ins, not just a one-time introduction
Mentors drawn from our own alumnae and educator network

03 · Community

A Circle That Doesn't Close

Scholars stay connected to Good For Kids long after their program ends — through informal check-ins with mentors and the educators who started it all in 2003.

Good For Kids is a proud Community Partner of the Community Center of Northern Westchester.

Meet the women this work is for.

Every program exists because of the scholars who trust us with their next step.
