Review for Friends for Youth, Palo Alto, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Friends for Youth is a jewel of an organization that has been addressing the issues of at risk kids for 30 years! Mentoring is a proven methodology for introducing and supporting healthier behaviors and lifestyles, and FFY knows how to both match mentors and mentees for the best results, and provide the practical and emotional support that facilitates the best possible experience. I am proud to be a part of this important and high impact effort.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the words of the junior friends. They speak truly and deeply of how their friendships have changed their lives.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

change the world by spreading these proven techniques and concepts to other communities and all the kids who would benefit from a true friend.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2008

Role:  Volunteer & I am both a "senior friend" (mentor) and board member.
