The Alex Smith Foundation concentrates on
developing and promoting programs in six basic areas.

Education

Good jobs with futures require general knowledge, reading and math skills, and proficiency in computers and technology.

Mentoring

Steadying hands, strong role models, and intergenerational synergies can provide the essential support for teens thrown unprepared into independence.

Housing

Young adults who haven't had a permanent home, need stability. This begins with a place to live—a place they can call home.

Internships

On-the-job training builds skills, confidence, and a network of working friends and associates.

Jobs

Employment provides a secure income, encourages accomplishment, and helps create responsible adults.

Advocacy

With its concentration on improving systems and changing counterproductive laws, advocacy is our path to the future.

Alex with Kids

Anyone can be a champion for foster youth by supporting this great cause!
Through programs like the Guardian Scholars Program and the Karen Martin Scholarship Program the Alex Smith Foundation aims to provide foster youth with the best opportunity to transition to successful adulthood, however, we cannot do this alone.

Any help towards our cause goes an extremely long way, and help goes beyond simply monetary donations. Assistance towards our cause comes in many shapes and sizes. Navigate to the contact page to contact us in order to explore the many different ways that you can help foster youth today.

In addition, we stress and take a tremendous amount of pride in stating that any assistance provided goes directly towards our mission in ensuring that foster youths receive the aid and care that they need to be afforded what they deserve. The administrative costs for the foundation are covered directly by Alex Smith. 100% of your donation goes directly to the foster youth.
