The Friends Program recruits volunteers to meet community needs and restore hope in the human spirit. The organization marshals a corps of about 800 volunteers who mentor at-risk youth, sheler homeless families, and help seniors actively contribute to the community. Started in 1975 as a youth mentorig organization, the Friends Program has evolved over the past four decades to support a growing number of our most vulnerable neighbors. Our Four Programs include:
