Faithful Friends is a Portland-based non-profit organization that focuses on early intervention through mentoring relationships. The program pairs volunteer individuals, couples, and families with children ages 6 to 9, arranging regular meetings 3–4 times per month for at least a year, with many matches continuing into subsequent years. The aim is to foster long-term, transformative connections that can impact individuals, families, communities, and generations. The organization operates within the non-profit sector and serves a community need by providing sustained mentorship to children in the Portland area, supported by partnerships formed to identify children who may benefit from mentorship, including collaborations with Catholic Charities of Oregon to reach refugee or forcibly displaced youths. Faithful Friends is located in the Portland region and has publicly announced leadership updates, such as the appointment of a new executive director in 2022, reflecting ongoing organizational development.
