Friends for Youth
has been dedicated to making a difference in the lives of at-risk youth since
we began in 1979.
By establishing and supporting one-to-1 mentoring relationships between youth-in-need and responsible, caring adults, we know we change lives for the betterment of individuals and the community.
Lisa and Pedro became friends in
October of 2006. At their first
meeting they went to the park to
walk Lisa’s dog Emma. Looking back, Lisa says she had no idea then what a significant part of her life Pedro would become. “I love how Pedro is just so much fun,” Lisa said. “He’s game for anything. Friends for Youth matched us so well!” Pedro says that there have been times he was feeling down, and he credits Lisa for helping him feel better. “Lisa doesn’t scream at me,” Pedro explained. “She helps me with stuff and she teaches me things.”
