Friends of the Children Dallas breaks the cycle of generational poverty by pairing children facing the greatest challenges with a paid, professional mentor – a Friend from kindergarten through high school graduation, 12+ years, no matter what. Our evidence-based model provides long-term, consistent support that helps children build resilience, achieve educational success, and create brighter futures.
