More about this organization
Mission
Friends of the Children commits to standing alongside our community's youth as they work to overcome barriers to their success. Each child receives 1:1 support and guidance from a salaried, professional mentor (called a friend), from kindergarten through high school graduation-12 years, no matter what. Friends work collaboratively with high-priority youth and their caregivers to set and achieve individualized goals, as well as advocate for them in the school, child welfare, healthcare, and other systems that impact them.
About
Youth in the Friends program face considerable challenges, including placement in the foster care system, under-resourced neighborhood schools, homelessness, hunger, and disparities in access to and quality of health care. Despite these barriers, program youth enter adulthood with strong foundations for continuing achievement: 83% graduate high school or earn a GED, 93% avoid the juvenile justice system, and 98% avoid teen parenting.
