Circle of Friends
Circle of Friends is a revolutionary mentoring program, transforming lives, one child at a time. Transformation takes place when we connect Sisters most vulnerable children with trained volunteer mentors.  Circle of Friends will stay with our children kindergarten through high school graduation no matter what! 
Our Mission 
​To provide Friends and resources that promote equal access and opportunity for Sisters’ underserved children and youth to develop life skills, social skills, academic success, and individual talents.

 ​
Our Vision
Circle of Friends offers every Sisters’ child or youth in need with trained mentors who provide consistent, long-term, meaningful relationships.  Working collaboratively with Sisters School District, community service  providers, and parents, Circle of Friends develops and implements inclusive plans and support systems for mentees. Circle of Friends works to provide children and youth with positive experiences and opportunities that contribute to their current and future success.
