Friends of the Children - Phoenix 4050 East Cotton Center Boulevard, Phoenix, AZ 85040

Friends of the Children - Phoenix is an institution dedicated to breaking the cycle of generational poverty by providing support and guidance to children facing multiple systemic obstacles. Located at 4050 East Cotton Center Boulevard in Phoenix, Arizona, our organization pairs each child with a professional mentor called a Friend who helps them write their own stories of hope and resilience.

Our impact speaks for itself, with 83% of youth receiving their high school diploma or GED and 93% remaining free from involvement in the juvenile justice system. We also acknowledge the Indigenous history of the land on which our chapter operates, recognizing the contributions of tribes such as the Akimel O'odham and the Tohono O'odham to the vibrant cultural tapestry of Phoenix.

To learn more about our program and the impact we have on the community, we invite you to take a tour of our Clubhouse with our Interim Executive Director, Shanna LaMar.
