6. Friends of the Children
Friends of the Children is a new Family Service initiative for at-risk school-age children. Based on a program founded in Portland, OR, Friends of the Children provides our most vulnerable children with a full time, paid adult role model who develops an intensive, one to one, long-term relationship with each child.
We are partnering with KnowledgeWorks Foundation, Hamilton County Department of Human Services and the Foundation for Family Service to bring this unique and innovative program to Hamilton County.
