Generational poverty can be broken. We've been doing it for over 25 years.
Children born into poverty are at risk for dropping out of school, substance abuse, incarceration and teen parenting. We provide a salaried, professional mentor, called a Friend, for their entire childhood, from kindergarten through graduation. 12.5 years. No matter what.
Our Method
We select children facing the highest risks. We help them change their stories.
83% of our youth graduate high school.
95% have avoided the juvenile justice system.
98% wait until adulthood to start a family.
OUR MODEL
We commit to each child for the long-term. 12 ½ years. No matter what.
Each child is paired with a salaried, professional mentor called a Friend.
