Friends of the Children Boston

Location

Boston
United States

Friends-Boston pairs children who are facing and reacting to risk conditions (Achievers) with a professional Mentor for twelve years, beginning in first grade and continuing through high school graduation. Each Mentor spends an average of eight hours every week with each Achiever year-round no matter where he or she moves in the greater Boston area. Our ultimate goal is that every Achiever will graduate from high school and continue on to college.

Reason:
Revolutionary mentoring organization committed to supporting, developing, and fostering high academic achievement and strong character development of children from at-risk and underserved communities to avoid cycles of poverty, abuse or violence and become successful members of society.
