The organization built its services upon the concept that a safe, consistent relationship with a caring adult outside the home can help a young person negotiate the developmental challenges all youth face. From the inception of this home-grown, local organization, there has been a commitment to rigorous screening, intensive training, ongoing support of adult volunteers, and a focus on matching the appropriate adult and child. Since the first Friends “match” was made in 1999, nearly 2500 children have been served in the program.
