What We Do

Helping children by supporting their families.

We’re a small group of educators in Westchester County. We help local children in two ways: by standing beside parents as they navigate their child’s education and by funding education for highly motivated women.

Trusted Others

Schools can be hard to navigate. Through our Trusted Others program, an experienced volunteer works one-on-one with a parent, free of charge, to help them understand and work with their child’s school.

  • One-on-one support, volunteer to parent
  • Guidance on how their child’s school works and how to navigate the system
  • Support in advocating for their child
  • Help preparing for school meetings, and accompanying parents if needed

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

Opportunity Grants

Our Opportunity Grants are education grants: direct financial support toward tuition and other costs of earning a degree or credential, for highly motivated women recommended to us by trusted partners.

  • Support for both traditional degree paths and vocational credentials
  • Recipients recommended by trusted partners and selected by experienced educators
  • Awards renewed as recipients progress toward their goal
  • Encouragement and mentoring offered along the way
