Helping hands for a brighter future

The Courtney's Kids Foundation aims to provide direct support to teachers, students, and families through grants, scholarships, and community outreach programs. We believe it takes a special kind of person to commit their life to helping children in need, and we aspire to honor Courtney’s dedication to education.

Courtney's Kids
Our Story

Our Mission is to provide direct support to teachers & students

Courtney

The Courtney's Kids Foundation (Courtney’s Kids) was established to continue Courtney Beth Glock's legacy in special education. A devoted elementary school teacher who worked with special needs children, Courtney developed strong relationships with students and their families. Her greatest lessons were in teaching her students to embrace their challenges as gifts, and use them to accomplish great things. Through these personal connections, Courtney showed up for them every step of the way, ensuring that her students knew they were cared for, respected, and loved.
