Friends of the Children - Chicago

Friends of the Children - Chicago is part of a national mentoring organization currently serving 20 communities and still expanding. Our model is to impact generational change by empowering youth through relationships with professional mentors. We provide children facing the most obstacles with a long-term, salaried, professional mentor, who we call a “Friend,” from kindergarten through high school graduation, 12 ½ years – no matter what. At Friends of the Children, we are a dynamic and lively team. We put children first and use our values to change the way the world treats and views youth facing great barriers. We nurture long-term relationships from a foundation of love, acceptance, and culturally informed practice.
