We are a revolutionary mentoring program that is transforming the lives of Portland’s most vulnerable children.
All children should be given the opportunity to realize their unique potential and inherent worth. We create these opportunities by employing paid, professional mentors, called Friends, to work with vulnerable children from kindergarten through high school graduation. We provide our community’s children the consistent support they need to succeed.
Friends of the Children has been voted one of Oregon's most admired nonprofit organizations.
