Byron Story Foundation (BSF)
A Non-Profit 501c(3) Organization Serving the Philadelphia Region Since 2002

Alternative Education, Violence Prevention and Support Services for Dropout Youth Program

BSF Alternative Education Center helps troubled teenagers ages 13-19 year of age by combining teaching with intensive counseling. Executive Director Juanita Story-Jones created the Byron Story Foundation to honor her son Byron 19 year old, who was a murder victim of youth gun violence in 2002 and other young adults who have died at the hands of senseless violence. Their spirits will be used as a vehicle through which our program can ignite the flames of life back into the minds and hearts of youths who have lost the capacity to dream.

Our Mission:

Is to enable young people to become self reliant, responsible and caring individuals whom we guide towards pathways aimed at reducing dropout, violence and drugs in our homes, schools and communities.

Our Main Goals:

The Byron Story Foundation (BSF) provides an array of comprehensive services that address academic and behavioral needs for struggling teenagers who have failed the public school setting and dropout as a result of their behavior related to poor academic performance, coping skills and who have impaired family functioning. Our main goals are to help struggling teenagers who live in the Philadelphia Regions to reach a higher level of spiritual and social development in which enhances their conduct manner, education achievements in society through the support of our behavior management counseling, GED classes, life skills, anti-violence/drug workshops, computer training, SAT/College preparation, employment preparation, and during a summer reading enrichment camp session.
