About Friends of the Children-Philadelphia

Our mission is to impact generational change by empowering youth who are facing the greatest obstacles through relationships with professional mentors–12+ years, no matter what.

We enroll youth at ages 4-6 years old and pair them with a trained mentor who commits to being with our youth for several continuous years. With our 2-Gen approach, we are leveraging our proven model to impact generational change for both youth and caregivers.

We are part of a national model with 41 chapters across the country. Our chapter launched in Philadelphia in 2024 and currently partners with WD Kelley Elementary School in North Philly and Bayard Taylor Elementary and North 10 Lenfest Center in Kensington to refer youth to our organization. We look forward to expanding over time.
