Friends of the Children - Philadelphia

Friends of the Children commits to standing alongside our community's youth as they work to overcome barriers to their succes. Each child receives 1:1 support and guidance from a salaried, professional mentor (called a friend), from kindergarten through high school graduation - 12 years, no matter what. Friends work collaboratively with high-priority youth and their caregivers to set and achieve individualized goals, as well as advocate for them in the school, child welfare, healthcare, and other systems that impact them.
