Frequently Asked Questions
Be the Best Foundation develops and invests in driven, historically underserved young people through long-term mentorship, scholarships, financial empowerment, and leadership development.
We walk alongside young people as they grow into confident, responsible adults—equipping them with knowledge, relationships, resources, and opportunities to build successful lives and stronger communities.
We primarily serve driven young people from historically underserved communities who are committed to developing their potential and building successful futures.
Our programs meet participants at different stages of their journey through mentorship, education, financial empowerment, scholarships, leadership development, and opportunities to give back.
The JustUs League is Be the Best Foundation’s long-term youth mentorship and development program. Participants, known as Crowns, are paired with mentors called WatchTowers and develop through experiences centered on leadership, financial empowerment, wellness, personal development, and service.
The goal extends beyond individual success: Crowns are prepared to eventually mentor, serve, and invest in the generations coming behind them.
INsiders is our young-adult mentorship program for participants ages 18–21. It follows the same long-term development model as the JustUs League while recognizing that its participants enter the program as adults.
