This International Literacy Day, we’re celebrating the small moments that add up to something big: a child sounding out their first sentence, finishing a chapter book, or writing a story of their own. At Friends of the Children – Boston, our long-term, one-on-one mentorship model ensures that every Achiever has a consistent, caring adult supporting their growth in reading skills and confidence, week after week, year after year. Because one child and one mentor, together for 12+ years, can change everything. That’s how we build a love of learning... one reader at a time! 📚 Learn more about the Power of One: https://friendsboston.org/how-it-works/power-of-one (fb)

Today is International Day of Charity, and we're feeling grateful 💙 Every act of kindness, every hour volunteered, every dollar donated, every word of encouragement, helps our Achievers feel supported and seen. Because of this community, they’re not facing challenges alone. They have Friends (mentors), champions, and a growing network of people who believe in them. Thank you for being part of it! (fb)
