MENTORS AT THE
HEART OF THE MODEL
At Friends of the Children – New York, mentors are not
volunteers or short-term supports. They are paid professionals
who commit to walking alongside a child for 12+ years.
Through consistency, trust, and relationship, mentors help
Achievers navigate school, family transitions, identity
development, and the path to adulthood.
"Everything else builds from this relationship."
