Friends of the Children is a revolutionary mentoring program that is transforming the lives of our most vulnerable children.

Friends of the Children provides our most vulnerable children with intensive and long-term mentors. We take a preventive, early intervention approach that breaks the cycle of poverty and abuse by helping children in need overcome the many obstacles in their lives.

Friends of the Children currently serves more than 750 children in five cities.

Friends of the Children is the proud recipient of grants from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Thrive Foundation for Youth, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and the Campbell Foundation.
