In keeping the memory of Kristen Amerson alive, we offer three scholarships to three graduating seniors who plan to pursue secondary education in the fields of mental health, education, and an option for any field of study. We understand the importance of furthering education and how finances can be challenging as students take that next step. Please see the scholarship application for more information.

The Kristen Amerson Youth Foundation would like to announce that we have received a Grant from See Beautiful in the amount of $2500 to fund our Back to School Pick Me Up Event! See Beautiful™ is a philanthropic company with a mission to provide inspiring, ethically-sourced products to create more beautiful in the world. See Beautiful has given over $200,000 through its Grant program and strategic giving initiatives.
See Beautiful and The Kristen Amerson Youth Foundation truly believe that through education, empowerment, and strategic giving, we can create more beautiful in the world. On August 1st, the Kristen Amerson Youth Foundation will be hosting a Back to School Pick Me Up Event! Parents will drive up and receive a mental health backpack for your child. Mental health backpacks will supply children with resources to help them through personal issues while waiting for access to a mental health professional. The mental health backpacks include journals, journal prompts, pens/pencils, coloring books, crayons, stress toys, stuffed animals, list of coping skills, positive affirmations, mental health providers in the West Alabama area. Make plans to drive up and even better, you don’t even have to get out of the car. The Kristen Amerson Youth Foundation is excited to host this event and we look forward to seeing you there!
