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! 
Mission
​Our Mission is to provide the most vulnerable child a loving, caring, nurturing and sustained relationship with an adult role model, who teaches positive values and has attainable expectations for each child, in order that they become healthy, productive members of our community. ​
Vision
Our Vision is to assist all children in the Sisters community to achieve their full potential.  We currently serve more than 40 children and anticipate growing each year to ensure that every child who needs a Mentor has one.   ​
​The Need
Forty-eight children in the Sisters community participated in the Circle of Friends Mentoring Program in the 2018-19 school year.
Within this group:
  • 14 live in single parent homes
  • 100% have experienced at least one adverse childhood experience
  • 8 live with guardians other than a biological parent​
At any given time, there are at least 7 children waiting for a Mentor
