About The Artest Foundation (TAF)
The Artest Foundation’s purpose is to ensure that they can provide the tools to students in high school that will make them a success. They promote confidence in students abilities to excel at academics, work, socially in their neighborhoods, and get them prepped for success at college and ensure that they graduate from college. Many people have help along the way and The Artest Foundation felt there was a void that would strike a perfect balance to engage students. The Artest Foundation was born so that we could give back to the children of our community who need an extra push to get them started on the right track and make sure they stay on that straight and narrow to success. Dedication and hard work from teenagers and with the help of our volunteers and staff will ensure a great future for our students. You can learn more about them at:
