Proud Steps Utah gives children and teens in need new, high-quality shoes of their own choosing, so they walk into school feeling confident, supported, and seen.
Partner with usThe move into middle school is when kids become most self-conscious about how they look and whether they fit in. A student who feels good walking into class is more ready to speak up, join in, and learn. For families under financial pressure, a pair of shoes they love can feel out of reach. We're closing that gap.
Every young person picks the shoes that feel like them, not whatever was left in a donation bin.
Quality, brand-new shoes, offered through trusted schools and community partners with no awkward applications.
Style is how kids say who they are. We treat it as something worth supporting.
We're building our founding team and partnerships. If you're a school counselor, community organization, footwear brand, or someone who'd like to serve on our board, we'd love to hear from you.
