Friends Of The Children - Texas

Friends of the children is the only program in the nation that provides full time professional salaried mentors to youth facing the greatest challenges. Each child receives 1:1 support and guidance from a salaried, professional mentor (called a friend) from kindergarten through high school graduation. 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.
