Friends of the Children - Utah
We are poverty disrupters! Our mission is to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty in Utah. We do this by pairing youth starting in kindergarten with a professional mentor called a Friend. The Friend sticks with the youth through high school graduation, 12+ years, no matter what. We commit to the long term! We go deep through individual focus, and wide through generational change.
