We are excited to share exciting news: Friends of the Children – Colorado Springs is now Friends of the Children – Colorado! Our new name reflects the expansion of our program and deepening of our impact across our state.

In the coming months, we will enroll more youth and pair each of them with new professional mentors, or Friends. That means more children in Colorado who face some of the most significant barriers will have the tools and support to find their spark, unlock their potential, and achieve their goals.

Our name may be changing, but we remain steadfast in our mission. We’re committed to walking alongside our youth and their families for 12+ years, no matter what.

As we enter this exciting new chapter as an organization, please consider supporting our work. With your help, we will expand our partnerships, strengthen our community, and create opportunities for even more children across Colorado!

There are many ways to give:

• Support our 2025 Give! Campaign and double your impact through matching grants.
• Become a monthly donor to provide consistent and reliable support to the youth in our program.
• Check out our Amazon Wish List to purchase snacks, art supplies, toys, and other in-kind gifts that create warm and loving club house environments for our youth.

Thank you for standing with us and Colorado’s youth who are facing the greatest obstacles. With your partnership, more young people will have a Friend by their side—no matter what.
