Inspiring AWESOMENESS since 1995! Guiding girls to a bright future.This says it all! As a donor I feel that my donation is doing good, as a volunteer I see the girls and staff in action, and as a board member I feel a huge responsibility to the girls and our community.

I have been involved with The Friendship Club for about 15 years, TFC is 17. I started as "just a volunteer" and am now on the board and still a volunteer. We "engage, educate and empower girls at risk" in a rural community in the foothills of the Sierras. Our girls are in grades 6 thru 12. We serve about 100 girls at a time in an all-year program of afterschool meetings that includes homework help, tutoring, fieldtrips, guest speakers, community service and one-on-one mentoring. Our program is led by two credentialed teachers. Our summer program is full of special interest clinics and special camps for each grade level. Our girls feel safe at TFC. They get to leave the chaos in their lives and come to their friendship family. They get support from the staff, mentors and the community.
