About

Generational poverty CAN be broken. Nationally, Friends of the Children has been doing it for more than 25 years. How? With a courageous, proven mentoring model. We select children facing the greatest obstacles - including foster care and homelessness - and empower them to change their stories. Each child is paired with a salaried, professional mentor called a Friend, and we commit to each child for the long-term. 12+ years. No matter what. Watch our 3-minute Power of One video to see our courageous, proven mentoring model and remarkable outcomes at https://friendsfargomoorhead.org.
