About Us

Our Mission

Friends of the Children-Seattle is dedicated to impacting generational change by helping youth who are facing the toughest systematic barriers in our community realize their power through relationships with salaried, professional mentors--for 12+ years, no matter what.

Our Model

We commit to each youth for the long-term. We select youth ages 4-6 who face the toughest systemic barriers and pair them with a professional mentor who spends an average of 12 intentional hours per month with them, developing goals and activities to build life skills.
