Advantageous Afford

Many children throughout Greater Kansas City and surrounding areas live in poverty.

Regardless of the barriers which hinder their ability to escape their circumstances, the implications are the same; low self-esteem, low self-confidence, inconsistent school attendance, illiteracy & lower achievement in school, less participation in extra-curricular activities, and a depth of prolonged-lasting social and emotional deficits.

As a Licensed Master Social Worker over the last ten years, Alicia Smith founded Advantageous Afford with a mission of supporting/aiding scholars, K-12, to live healthy and resilient lives through mental health education and social-emotional support.

With the help of area Social Workers, Counselors, Teachers, and advocates, they will partner to identify K-12 scholars actively attending school who live within the poverty guidelines, and that has a specific need.

Advantageous Afford earned a 2021 Silver Seal of Transparency from GuideStar.
