We're proud to share that our own Tasha R. Mousseau JD, Chief Officer of Advancement & Tribal Relations, recently represented Friends of the Children at the Summer Institute on Youth Mentoring in Calgary. As the only U.S. fellow at this year's summit, Tasha led two insightful sessions. Both emphasized how cultural identity and Indigenous lifeways are foundational to healing, resilience, and systems change. Read more about the summit and Tasha’s insights: (fb)

Earlier this year, Friends of the Children teamed up with Simone Biles and premium pet food brand Nulo for the Paws For A Cause campaign to raise funds supporting youth and their pets. 🐾 The campaign made a real impact across Oregon and Washington. Last month, Friends of the Children Klamath Falls youth proudly wore their new shirts, shared Nulo treats, and snuggled some adoptable four-legged friends at a local event, where several pets even found their forever homes. Together, Nulo Pet Food , Simone Biles , Friends of the Children - Klamath Basin , and Friends of the Chiildren - National are making a difference for youth and their pets!❤️ (fb)
