Program areas at Circle of Friends

Our mission is to provide vulnerable, at-risk, youth in our community with a loving, caring, nurturing and sustained relationship with an adult mentor. Our volunteer mentors introduce and reinforce positive life skills that will enable children in our program to realize their full potential as healthy and productive members of our community. The primary service is to provide one-on-one mentoring for children in need of positive and supportive adult role model relationships. These children are most seriously at-risk for school failure, potential substance abuse and criminal behavior. Research has shown that the single most important protective factor in a child's life is building resiliency through a long-term, consistent, relationship with a caring adult.
