About Us
For more than five decades, the C. E. Mendez Foundation has worked to strengthen the health and well-being of children, families, schools, and communities through effective prevention education.
We develop evidence-based, skill-building programs that prepare students to make responsible decisions, set positive goals, manage emotions, communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, and respond constructively to life’s challenges. Today, Too Good programs are used by schools, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations throughout the United States, reaching children and families in diverse communities and learning environments.
Prevention Education: A small investment with a big return – healthy, happy kids for generations to come.
