On any given day in Florida, thousands of teenagers in the foster care system and others living in high-risk environments are trying to find their way in life without parents or family to help or guide them, and are expected to survive in the aftermath of a situation they didn't cause. Most will suffer unimaginable emotional pain, creating a toxic state of the mind, body and soul. Over time, this existence can erode their mental and physical health, break their spirit, and shatter their well-being. Any hope of living a healthy, happy, or successful life, sadly, will slip through their hands.

Big Children's Foundation has a heart to prevent these outcomes and change their life trajectory. We provide teens with mentoring, support and educational services that help them heal, improve their quality of life, train them to be self-sufficient, and provide the academic education and professional development that will help them lead healthy, happy, productive lives. We reshape their futures!
