Since 1837, Children's Friend and Family Services has committed itself to a sustainable, long term vision of creating and cultivating a community of loving, caring, capable families. Throughout the years, Children's Friend has helped touch generations of families by providing programs that make better parents, mend relationships, foster independence, and clear the roadblocks towards stable and productive lives. Children's Friend and Family Services Youth Mentoring Program matches at-risk youth between the ages of 7 and 18 with volunteer adult mentors. Pairs are scheduled to meet every week for at least two hours to establish one-to-one relationships that over a year's time mature into genuine, caring friendships.
