Robert Kerr Foundation Supports Park Street Education’s BeSeen Program

TORONTO, ON (July 27, 2026) –  Park Street Education is pleased to announce support from the Robert Kerr Foundation to strengthen BeSeen, our specialized program for youth connected to the child welfare system.​

This investment will enhance trauma-informed one-to-one tutoring, Peer-to-Peer programming, mentorship and academic resources for the student cohort. These supports help BeSeen provide a consistent educational and relational anchor for young people whose learning may be interrupted by changes in homes, schools, and support systems.​

“We are deeply grateful to the Robert Kerr Foundation for recognizing the importance of educational continuity for youth facing instability,” said Karen Stern, Executive Director of Park Street Education. “This support will help students remain connected to caring adults, peers, and learning while building the confidence and engagement they need to succeed in school and beyond.”​

Through this partnership, Park Street Education will continue working toward a future where adversity no longer limits educational opportunity or future pathways.​
