Best Friends Foundation – Best Friends Foundation

The Best Friends Foundation strives to provide a nationwide network of programs dedicated to the physical and emotional well-being of adolescents.

BFF provides scientifically researched, evidence-based, and developmentally sound curricula designed for grades fifth through twelfth grade. 6,000 students, in 100 schools in 26 school districts, have learned through our program that the Best Friend to have by your side is one who helps you to be a better person; who helps you gain self-respect through building self-control.

The Foundation promotes self-respect through the practice of self-control and provides participants the skills, guidance, and support to reject bullying, relationship violence, and drug and alcohol abuse. In the spirit of true friendship, the Best Friends Foundation provides positive peer groups for adolescents and creates an environment that raises aspirations and promotes achievement.
