Friends of the Children is a revolutionary mentoring program that is transforming the lives of Portland's most vulnerable children. Friends of the Children provides Portland's most vulnerable children with intensive and long-term mentors. We take a preventive, early intervention approach that breaks the cycle of poverty and abuse by helping children in need overcome the many obstacles in their lives. There are three key elements that make Friends of the Children so unique: We mentor the children in our community who need us the most. Our mentors (called Friends) are full-time, paid and professionally trained. We make a twelve and a half year (12 ½) commitment to each child, selecting them in kindergarten and guiding them through high school graduation.
