Friends of the Children – Philadelphia Featured on KYW Newsradio

We are excited to share that we were recently featured on KYW Newsradio! This story highlights the launch of our chapter and our commitment to providing long-term, paid professional mentorship to children facing systemic obstacles.

At Friends of the Children, we walk alongside our youth from kindergarten through high school graduation—12+ years, no matter what. Our professional mentors build deep, trusting relationships that help children navigate challenges and achieve their full potential.

The article sheds light on why mentorship matters and how we are working to break cycles of generational poverty right here in North Philadelphia. We’re grateful to KYW Newsradio for helping us spread the word about this important work!
