The Friends Program is a non-profit agency that strengthens communities by building positive connections and solutions for at-risk youth, families and seniors. It is the mission of the Friends Program to build positive connections and solutions for at-risk youth, families and seniors. We work to increase access to positive role models and learning opportunities, increase access to stable housing, reduce food insecurity and social isolation. We accomplish this by providing youth mentoring, emergency housing for families and fulfilling the need of seniors and retired people to actively contribute to the community.
