Friends of the Children

Friends of the Children is a revolutionary mentoring program that pairs our nation’s most vulnerable children with paid, professional mentors who nurture and support them for twelve years of each child’s life.  Our mission is to help the highest risk children develop the relationships, goals, and skills necessary to break the cycles of poverty, abuse and violence in order to become contributing members of society.
