Friends of the Children empowers youth who are facing big challenges by matching them with a professional, paid mentor – called a Friend – from kindergarten through high school graduation.
Our model is grounded in more than 30 years of research and experience showing the power of a consistent, caring adult in a child’s life. Our Friends support youth and their caregivers as they develop important core life skills and pursue their goals of resilience and success. Help us match more children in Phoenix with a Friend!
