About this organization
Mission
We empower the children facing the biggest obstacles to break the generational cycle of poverty by providing a salaried, professional mentor to walk beside them from kindergarten through high school graduation.
About
Friends of the Children is a non-profit organization that provides at-risk children with professional long-term mentors. We take a preventative, early intervention approach that breaks the cycle of poverty and abuse by helping children in need to overcome the many obstacles in their lives. The children in the program have significant challenges with 60% having parents that did not complete high school, 50% having one or more parent that has been incarcerated, and 85% being born by a teen parent. The children involved with the organization overcome these odds as 91% regularly attend school with an 83% graduation rate, 98% of our adolescents avoid teen parenting, and 93% avoid involvement in the juvenile justice system.
