Friends of the Children–Detroit is part of a national network of Friends of the Children
across the United States. Friends of the Children connects children – all of whom have
unique talents – to a paid, professional mentor called a Friend. We hire and train Friends
whose full-time jobs are to support our youth to succeed, despite the extremely challeng-
ing situations most experience, from as early as age 4 through high school graduation –
12+ years, no matter what. We select children ages 4-6 in Wayne County who are at-risk
of entering foster care and pair them with a professional mentor called a Friend that stays
with them through graduation, 12+ years, no matter what.
