Keeping Vulnerable Students Anchored When It Matters Most.
The Almendra Foundation replaces exclusionary student isolation with high-accountability restorative pathways that protect classroom seats and extracurricular routines.
WHAT WE DO
Four Pillars of Service
Clinical Referral System
Seamlessly linking overburdened public school counseling grids to a dedicated network of state-licensed mental health practitioners.
The Charitable Student Support Fund
Providing targeted financial assistance and clinical scholarships for low-income families unable to afford expedited psychiatric evaluations or private therapy.
Section 504 Non-Violent Restorative Advocacy
Providing a framework for restorative behavioral correction during campus disciplinary reviews.
Professional Leadership Education
Partnering with public school administrations, athletic coaches, and fine arts directors to deliver tact-driven crisis tracking training.
Financial Stewardship & Impact
Every dollar entrusted to The Almendra Foundation is assigned to one of three restricted funds, tracked separately and reported to the Board, to funders, and to donors.
The Charitable Student Support Fund
Clinical scholarships for low-income families, covering evaluations and treatment that keep a student on the 90-day track without placing the cost on the household.
Clinical Infrastructure & Telehealth Integration
Maintaining a secure, verified network of licensed providers and telehealth access at zero cost to school districts.
Restorative Advocacy & Community Training
Providing materials, training, and trained family advocates who support students and parents through campus reviews and restorative planning meetings.
Designed for Process Reliability & Measurable Success
Every student on the 90-day track is measured against three core metrics, reported to campus partners and funders on a fixed schedule.
Enrollment Revenue Protection Metrics
Tracking retained attendance and enrollment that would otherwise be lost to exclusionary placements.
Clinical Treatment Compliance Logs
Documenting every scheduled session, provider check-in, and milestone across the 90-day track.
Campus Staff Administrative Overhead Relief
Measuring the coordination, documentation, and follow-up hours shifted from campus staff to the Foundation.
