We serve displaced African American youth especially those without kinship ties through structured education, therapeutic care, and cultural restoration rooted in stability, dignity, and growth.
At Bes & Beset - Leland Jackson Foundation Inc., our institute provides a continuum of care that supports academic achievement, emotional wellness, and personal development. With structure at the core and restoration as the goal, we guide students through meaningful development across six key areas.
We provide customized academic plans tailored to each student's learning profile. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that education becomes a healing journey, not just an academic requirement. Small class sizes allow for focused instruction and meaningful participation.
We embed trauma-informed care into our academy's culture to support students' emotional wellness. Youth learn emotional regulation techniques and are guided through stress with care and intention.
We support youth with learning challenges through flexible accommodations and tailored academic strategies. Students receive coaching in essential life skills and are empowered to grow with clarity.
We incorporate cultural enrichment as a key element of student identity and belonging. Through heritage activities and creative exploration, students connect with history and community.
Spiritual grounding is woven into our daily structure through morning devotion and reflective practices. This supports character formation and self-awareness in a non-denominational context.
We are preparing to launch residential components that offer youth consistent housing, structure, and stability. Students will experience safe, on-campus living with 24/7 support.
Your support helps us provide displaced African American youth with the structure, care, and opportunities they need to thrive. Together, we can restore dignity and create lasting impact.
Creating sanctuaries of belonging, restoration, and excellence for displaced African American youth with learning disabilities.
