<strong>2010</strong> ANNUAL REPORT<br />

FRIENDS OF THE CHILDREN PORTLAND | <strong>2010</strong> ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 1


A Letter to our <strong>Friends</strong>:<br />

Every spring <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> welcomes a new class <strong>of</strong> kindergarteners into our family with a<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ound sense <strong>of</strong> optimism. We know <strong>the</strong> next 12 ½ years will be hard for <strong>the</strong>se children. Caregivers<br />

will enter and exit <strong>the</strong>ir lives. Their families will be impacted by drugs, violence, hunger and<br />

homelessness. At times, <strong>the</strong>y will not dare to hope that tomorrow will be any better than today.<br />

But we know <strong>the</strong>re is hope, because our children will not be alone. From this point forward <strong>the</strong>y will<br />

have a Friend to guide <strong>the</strong>m and believe in <strong>the</strong>m no matter what life may bring.<br />

Every spring we also experience <strong>the</strong> heartbreak <strong>of</strong> being unable to enroll so many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> children<br />

who desperately need a Friend <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own. In fact, a community assessment conducted in <strong>2010</strong><br />

identified more than 19,000 children in <strong>the</strong> Portland metro area who live with multiple risk factors<br />

that would qualify <strong>the</strong>m for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Friends</strong> program.<br />

We welcomed our first class <strong>of</strong> just 24 children in 1993. I am proud to report that, with tremendous<br />

support from our community, we now serve 350 children and plan to serve 475 by 2015. At every<br />

stage <strong>of</strong> growth our highest priority has been to protect <strong>the</strong> promise we make to our children - to be<br />

<strong>the</strong>re for <strong>the</strong>m 4 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, for 12 ½ years, no matter what.<br />

I am pleased to report that external evaluation continues to validate <strong>the</strong> effectiveness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Friend’s model:<br />

• In <strong>2010</strong>, <strong>the</strong> Harvard Business School Association <strong>of</strong> Oregon completed a rigorous return on<br />

investment analysis, which revealed that every $1.00 invested in our program yields nearly<br />

$7.00 in benefits to our youth and to society. In 2011, <strong>the</strong> same volunteers updated <strong>the</strong>ir data,<br />

and found that <strong>the</strong> ROI increased to $7.20 per dollar invested.<br />

• Preliminary results from <strong>the</strong> National Institutes <strong>of</strong> Health longitudinal study <strong>of</strong> <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Children</strong>’s model are very positive, indicating that children enrolled in our program are<br />

significantly less anxious and depressed than at-risk children in a non-mentored<br />

control group.<br />

We take pride in our history <strong>of</strong> steady and thoughtful growth, and we are grateful to you, our<br />

dedicated community <strong>of</strong> supporters, for growing with us as we continue in our quest to provide a<br />

Friend to all vulnerable children who need one.<br />

Warmest Regards,<br />

Terri Sorensen, Executive Director<br />

CAFE FRIENDS<br />

Brew one shot <strong>of</strong> espresso, top it with frothy steamed milk, and you’re ready to enjoy<br />

a delicious latte. What happens when you add a spoonful <strong>of</strong> teamwork and a dash <strong>of</strong><br />

leadership It goes by <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Café <strong>Friends</strong>, and it’s a fast growing youth-run caféstart-up<br />

located in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />

Café <strong>Friends</strong> began 18 months ago when mentor Mike received an espresso machine<br />

as a gift. “I started making way too many mochas at home, and my wife told me I<br />

needed to get rid <strong>of</strong> it,” Mike said. “I mentioned it to one <strong>of</strong> my youth, and he begged<br />

me to bring it in to <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice.” Over winter break 2009, Mike and two <strong>of</strong> his adolescent<br />

mentees opened Café <strong>Friends</strong> in <strong>the</strong> kitchen <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> <strong>of</strong>fices for<br />

<strong>the</strong> first time.<br />

“Some kids find it terrifying to talk with and take orders from people <strong>the</strong>y don’t<br />

know. Luckily, <strong>the</strong>se are <strong>the</strong> kids that make <strong>the</strong> fastest drinks! By <strong>the</strong> same token,<br />

some youth are natural salesmen, but struggle with <strong>the</strong> technical aspect. Everyone’s<br />

seemed to find <strong>the</strong>ir place.”<br />

For many youth, Café <strong>Friends</strong> presents an opportunity for <strong>the</strong>ir leadership traits to<br />

flourish. One <strong>of</strong> Mike’s youth, Mat<strong>the</strong>w, has grown from a near-paralyzing fear <strong>of</strong> taking<br />

orders from staff he didn’t know to peddling new Café <strong>Friends</strong> menu items throughout<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />

Café <strong>Friends</strong> has expanded at an astonishing pace. Beginning with a few espresso drinks,<br />

<strong>the</strong> café’s <strong>of</strong>ferings have expanded to include Italian sodas and flavorings, home-baked<br />

cookies and cakes, milk alternatives and even seasonal drink specials. All that growth<br />

has originated with <strong>the</strong> youth. “At <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> morning, <strong>the</strong>y go home with<br />

$10-$15 from <strong>the</strong> tips <strong>the</strong>y’ve earned, <strong>the</strong>y start to think about how to make <strong>the</strong><br />

café more successful. I try to give <strong>the</strong>m as much freedom as possible to do that.”<br />

The Café is managed by a <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> program graduate and staffed by<br />

current youth on school in-service days and holidays. The Café’s staff has gone from a<br />

staff <strong>of</strong> two to a rotating staff <strong>of</strong> 12, with new youth eager to sign up every week. Youth<br />

do all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> shopping for <strong>the</strong> café at real business supply stores like Cash & Carry,<br />

learning valuable accounting skills in <strong>the</strong> process.<br />

Mike is confident that participation in Café <strong>Friends</strong> will help his young men develop key<br />

employment skills, like customer service, teamwork and communication, which will set<br />

<strong>the</strong>m apart from <strong>the</strong>ir peers in future job interviews.<br />

“Ultimately, what we’re doing with Café <strong>Friends</strong> is an expansion <strong>of</strong> what we want to do<br />

with our youth all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> time: create opportunities, be available when <strong>the</strong>y need it, and<br />

when <strong>the</strong>y take <strong>of</strong>f in pursuit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir passion, try to get <strong>the</strong> heck out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> way.”<br />

* Names have been changed to protect <strong>the</strong> program’s youth.<br />

MICHAEL AND MICHELLE SCHAEFFER<br />

A FATHER-DAUGHTER COMMITMENT TO FRIENDS<br />

“When a Child Needs a Friend,” <strong>the</strong> headline read. The<br />

year was 2004 and <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> was preparing<br />

to celebrate its first graduating class. Meanwhile, Michael<br />

Schaeffer was searching for a way to make a positive impact<br />

in his community.<br />

“I had pamphlets all over <strong>the</strong> house,” he says. For some time<br />

he had been seeking a charity to support. He wanted to find<br />

an organization that was helping <strong>the</strong> Portland community,<br />

and he wanted to see <strong>the</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> work. After reading<br />

<strong>the</strong> article in The Oregonian he called <strong>Friends</strong> to ask for more<br />

information, and soon knew this was <strong>the</strong> organization he had<br />

been looking for.<br />

Seven years later, Michael’s commitment to <strong>Friends</strong> is<br />

stronger than ever. From <strong>the</strong> beginning, he knew that<br />

automatic monthly deductions would be <strong>the</strong> most effective<br />

way to contribute. He says this technique means “you don’t<br />

miss it, but you’ve made a big impact by <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

year.” Since <strong>the</strong>n Michael has significantly increased his<br />

monthly contribution amount, and has also made one-time<br />

gifts in honor <strong>of</strong> special occasions and at Friend Raiser. In<br />

2008, Michael made a five-year commitment and became<br />

a shareholder in <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong>’s Child Investment<br />

Program. This program gives donors an opportunity to invest<br />

in <strong>the</strong> long-term future <strong>of</strong> our youth, much as <strong>Friends</strong> makes<br />

a commitment to be <strong>the</strong>re for <strong>the</strong>m for a full 12.5 years.<br />

Michael is proud to contribute to <strong>the</strong> organization’s growth<br />

and to <strong>the</strong> successes <strong>of</strong> each graduating class. The feeling <strong>of</strong><br />

making a difference in children’s lives is something he hopes<br />

his daughter, Michelle, will also experience. Michelle was in<br />

college when Michael first learned about <strong>Friends</strong> and, after she<br />

completed graduate school in <strong>2010</strong>, <strong>the</strong>y attended <strong>the</strong> Friend<br />

Raiser event toge<strong>the</strong>r for <strong>the</strong> first time. Though he had talked<br />

to her about <strong>Friends</strong> over <strong>the</strong> years, Michael felt <strong>the</strong> event<br />

would be a great opportunity for Michelle to learn about <strong>the</strong><br />

organization first-hand.<br />

Following Friend Raiser, Michelle sent a touching email to<br />

Executive Director, Terri Sorensen:<br />

“I wanted to tell you how honored I was to be sitting at your<br />

table tonight. I knew a little about <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong><br />

but tonight I was blown away and mostly in tears. For many<br />

fortunate people, such as myself, it is hard to relate and define<br />

<strong>the</strong> hardships that occur daily in <strong>the</strong> very same community in<br />

which <strong>the</strong>y were raised. Tonight really opened my eyes to that<br />

reality and it was emotional and depressing and inspiring. You<br />

are truly part <strong>of</strong> something great and one day I hope that I can<br />

have <strong>the</strong> same honor.”<br />

This year Michelle followed her fa<strong>the</strong>r’s example by establishing<br />

an automatic monthly gift <strong>of</strong> her own. For <strong>the</strong> Schaeffers,<br />

generosity has become a family tradition; one that <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> is truly proud and thankful to be a part <strong>of</strong>.<br />

PLANNED GROWTH<br />

Nearly 18 years ago, <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> was founded on a vision to provide a<br />

Friend to all vulnerable children who need one. Since <strong>the</strong>n we have worked diligently<br />

to include as many children as possible without compromising <strong>the</strong> quality and<br />

effectiveness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mentoring relationships that form <strong>the</strong> core <strong>of</strong> our program.<br />

In January <strong>2010</strong>, <strong>the</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Directors approved a strategic plan to guide us through<br />

<strong>the</strong> next five years. Through <strong>the</strong> strategic planning process we identified key goals to<br />

guide us in this measured and deliberate growth. In order to ensure every new child<br />

we enroll will have a Friend for a full 12.5 years, several initiatives have been launched<br />

to broaden our community <strong>of</strong> supporters and to develop long-term funding sources.<br />

To address <strong>the</strong> growing need for our services in outer SE Portland, we continue to<br />

develop new school partnerships and are working to secure additional program spaces.<br />

<strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong>’s Five Year Goals:<br />

• Maintain <strong>Friends</strong> as a high quality program with validated outcomes measured<br />

over time:<br />

o 85% will graduate from high school or attain GED<br />

o 50% will enroll in post-secondary learning<br />

o 92% will avoid involvement in Juvenile Justice System<br />

o 98% will avoid early parenting<br />

• Increase <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> youth served to 475 by 2015.<br />

• Secure sustainable revenue streams that support facility and operational costs.<br />

• Brand <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> as one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most recognizable and respected<br />

mentoring organizations in Oregon/SW Washington.<br />

• Hire, develop and retain outstanding employees by making FOTC a great place to<br />

work and making it easy to be an employee.<br />

• Maximize program and operational effectiveness and efficiency.<br />

• Secure and maintain facilities that enhance service to youth and accommodate<br />

our program vision.<br />

Your support allows <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> to achieve our strategic goals. Thank<br />

you for your continued investment in <strong>the</strong> lives and futures <strong>of</strong> our community’s most<br />

vulnerable children.<br />

MEETING OUR YOUTH WHERE THEY ARE<br />

Maya steps onto <strong>the</strong> porch <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Friends</strong> House and looks up<br />

with a smile. In <strong>the</strong> window are <strong>the</strong> paper flowers she and her<br />

Friend, Stacy, put up to celebrate <strong>the</strong> first day <strong>of</strong> spring. Up in<br />

<strong>the</strong> corner is <strong>the</strong> wind chime <strong>the</strong>y made toge<strong>the</strong>r last week. She<br />

brea<strong>the</strong>s a sigh <strong>of</strong> contentment as she opens <strong>the</strong> front door.<br />

Maya worries about things most eight year-olds don’t<br />

understand. Who will mom stay with tonight while Maya’s at<br />

Grandma’s again How many more months until mom finds <strong>the</strong>m<br />

a place to live Will <strong>the</strong>y go back to <strong>the</strong> same trailer park Later<br />

she’ll share <strong>the</strong>se worries with Stacy, but for now she pushes<br />

<strong>the</strong>m aside.<br />

Here at <strong>the</strong> <strong>Friends</strong> House everything is okay and everything<br />

feels like it’s meant just for her. There are computers, toys,<br />

books, bicycles, and all <strong>the</strong> art supplies she can imagine. Soon<br />

she’ll help Stacy cook dinner. Then <strong>the</strong>y’ll read a story, play a<br />

game or two, and check on <strong>the</strong> spinach plants sprouting in <strong>the</strong><br />

garden beds outside.<br />

These are <strong>the</strong> kinds <strong>of</strong> memories some <strong>of</strong> us are lucky to have<br />

about <strong>the</strong> homes we grew up in. Sleepovers, barbecues, water<br />

fights in <strong>the</strong> yard, a game <strong>of</strong> basketball in <strong>the</strong> driveway. After a<br />

tough day at school, or whenever things just didn’t seem to be<br />

going our way, home was <strong>the</strong> place to retreat for comfort and<br />

advice from someone we could trust.<br />

At <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong>, some <strong>of</strong> our kids are not so lucky. For<br />

<strong>the</strong>m, home is not a safe haven, but a minefield where violence,<br />

hunger and neglect constantly threaten to erupt. Last year,<br />

13% <strong>of</strong> our children moved more than once during <strong>the</strong> year, and<br />

nearly 20% lived in foster care or stayed with relatives. Over <strong>the</strong><br />

past three years, nearly half <strong>of</strong> our children lived in homes where<br />

<strong>the</strong>re was not always enough to eat.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> our goals at <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> is to provide stability<br />

and consistency in lives that are sometimes chaotic and<br />

confusing. The <strong>Friends</strong> Houses are critical to this goal. The NE<br />

House opened in 1994, when most <strong>of</strong> our kids lived within a few<br />

miles <strong>of</strong> our main <strong>of</strong>fice. The SE House opened in 2000 to serve<br />

<strong>the</strong> rapidly growing number <strong>of</strong> families moving eastward to more<br />

affordable neighborhoods.<br />

Today, with our kids spread out at more than 120 schools in <strong>the</strong><br />

metro area, <strong>the</strong> houses serve as convenient meeting points<br />

for community events like potlucks and barbecues. They also<br />

provide a welcoming and familiar environment for <strong>Friends</strong> to<br />

streng<strong>the</strong>n relationships with <strong>the</strong>ir children by treating <strong>the</strong>m<br />

to healthy meals and snacks, helping <strong>the</strong>m with homework, and<br />

encouraging <strong>the</strong>m to pursue <strong>the</strong>ir creative and athletic interests.<br />

For some <strong>the</strong> houses are simply great places to hang out and<br />

have fun with <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>Friends</strong>. For o<strong>the</strong>rs, like Maya, <strong>the</strong>y provide<br />

a desperately needed reprieve from <strong>the</strong> instability <strong>of</strong> daily life.<br />

Maya does not always know what tomorrow will bring. But here<br />

at <strong>the</strong> house with Stacy, for a few hours each week, she is home.<br />

Scappoose<br />

While all <strong>of</strong> our children<br />

start at one <strong>of</strong> 11 partner<br />

schools, life circumstances<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten necessitate multiple<br />

moves. Our kids are now<br />

spread out at more than<br />

120 schools. A child’s Friend<br />

stays with <strong>the</strong>m as long as<br />

<strong>the</strong>y live within 30 miles <strong>of</strong><br />

our <strong>of</strong>fice – no matter what.<br />

FAST FRIENDS<br />

WHAT IS FAST FRIENDS<br />

<strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong>’s mission is to provide our most vulnerable children<br />

a nurturing and sustained relationship with a who teaches positive values<br />

and has attainable expectations for each child to become a healthy,<br />

productive member <strong>of</strong> our community.<br />

Through <strong>the</strong> <strong>Friends</strong> program, commitments are made to children for 12 ½<br />

years. One <strong>of</strong> our three long-term goals for program participants is success<br />

in school. This is evidenced by obtaining a high school diploma or GED,<br />

which 86% <strong>of</strong> our youth achieve.<br />

As students graduate from <strong>the</strong> formal <strong>Friends</strong> program, many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m<br />

want to fur<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>ir education by attending college or a trade school. Fast<br />

<strong>Friends</strong> was founded in 2009 to help <strong>the</strong>se youth reach <strong>the</strong>ir long-term<br />

goals.<br />

Fast <strong>Friends</strong> is a group <strong>of</strong> <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Children</strong> supporters committed<br />

to assisting program graduates in paying for tuition and expenses<br />

at traditional four-year colleges, community colleges and trade and<br />

vocational schools. Fast <strong>Friends</strong> supporters are commited to helping<br />

graduates obtain sustainable careers that will support <strong>the</strong>mselves and<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir families well into <strong>the</strong> future.<br />

“Lori and I make annual contributions to a number <strong>of</strong> organizations that are doing<br />

good things right now for children. We really believe, though, that <strong>Friends</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Children</strong> can and should bless <strong>the</strong> lives <strong>of</strong> children both now, and for a long, long<br />

time, so we were very comfortable including <strong>Friends</strong> in our estate planning.”<br />
