Friends of the Children - Colorado Springs
Impacting generational change by empowering youth, who are facing the greatest obstacles, through relationships with professional mentors – 12+ years, no matter what.
How do you break the cycle of generational poverty?
It takes a courageous and proven model.
We select children who face multiple systemic obstacles. We amplify their voices as they write their own stories of hope and resilience. Each child is paired with a paid, professional mentor called a Friend . We also provide support to the parent, giving a holistic approach to uplifting the entire family.
