2014 annual report

2

dear friendsAs I look back on nearly six years with Friends of the Children, I feel extremely proud of our progress—among our youth as well as in our growing organization. In this 15th year, we have so much to celebrate.

As part of a national network, we have developed a new brand that sets Friends of the Children apart, reflecting our unique and impactful program model. We ensure that the youth in our program receive support and guidance from a professional mentor every week for 12½ years, until they complete high school, prepared for their future. A high-quality, reliable, one-on-one relationship with a consistent adult role model—who is there for them no matter what—is the key to our youths’ success.

Three years ago, we set bold goals to grow sustainably and ensure that our youth are able to achieve their goals. And I am excited to report that through relentless efforts, we met those goals, thanks to our board, staff, and community of supporters—YOU! After a year of planning, we moved into our new space in the Rainier Valley. It is designed to support high quality experiences and learning for our youth, including areas tailored specifically for younger children and teens, a designated quiet study space, and a spacious kitchen to cook “family” meals. I have an incredible feeling each time I see a child walk through our front door with eagerness and excitement because they have a safe space to learn, grow and just be kids.

Together we accelerate generational change in our community, one child at a time. Friends of the Children has experienced tremendous growth and development over the past 15 years. While our organization is stronger than ever, we continue to evaluate and enhance our program. Just like our youth graduates, we have worked hard to get where we are, and we are excited to see what the next 15 years will bring, with your support.

thank you!Kelly Stockman Reid, MPAExecutive Director

their goals. From kindergarten through high school graduation,

no matter what.

meet Ben Graham

Ben Graham joined Friends of the Children two years ago after graduating from Western Washington University with a bachelor’s degree in social services. “I was thinking about a career working with teens because, in the past, I always worked with older kids.” Here at Friends of the Children, mentors start with a new cohort of kids who are in kindergarten or first grade, when they are eager to learn and grow. This approach promotes meaningful relationships, developed over many years, to maximize program impact. “I am happy. I love working with these kids,” Ben said.

How was your first experience with Friends of the Children?When I first started, I was excited. I wanted to jump in and be this kid’s best friend, from day one, and that is not exactly how things work when building relationships with youth who have lost trust in many adults. I was way too overbearing with the first kid I signed up. On our first couple of outings, he was silent the whole time. I wasn’t sure what was going on with him, so I went and asked his mom about his behavior. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t something I was doing wrong. She said that is just how Joshua* is and I should just let the relationship happen naturally. And eventually it did. Whenever I picked Joshua up to go on an outing, I just said hello and asked how he was doing. I wanted to let him know I was here for him. It’s been two years, and I can’t get him to stop talking. I know he trusts me and that is great.

Can you share an experience with one of your boys? There was a really big incident six months ago with one of my boys, Dominic*. The day started off really well, and all of a sudden things started to unravel, and he lost it. Dominic had moved from his home twice in two months, school was ending and he wasn’t going to be able to see his friends, and he was getting a new teacher. All those transitions caught up to him, and he broke down. He punched me, bit me, spit at me, and called me names. I couldn’t believe he was doing this to me. I thought, ‘This is not a good scene.’ That day was a bad day for sure, but I look back on it now and I realize that was a good day. If he done that to anyone else, there’s a 99% chance that person would be gone from his life. Dominic showed me his worst, and I didn’t go anywhere. When I saw him next I just asked him how he was doing. He looked at me like, ‘I thought you would run for the hills.’ Ever since then Dominic has been on a roll in school, his social life and his behavior. I feel like he had to test me and give me his worst to see if I was going to bounce or not. I am excited to see him, and I know hanging out with me is the best part of his week, for sure.

What is a typical day like for you and your boys?The first thing I do with all my boys is homework. Most times we go to the library because we can do our homework, read and use the computer. I hope one day they will use the library as a resource. The next activity depends on the youth. One of my boys loves knights, so we build castles out of cardboard boxes. Sometimes I throw in new things such as going to the docks in Ballard and checking out the boats. They loved it.

What is something you hope your kids will have learned by the time they graduate?I want my kids to be successful on their own terms. So whatever they want to go after and they want to do, I want them to have the confidence and ability to go after it. If you want to do theater, I want to be able to help build that kid up and give him the tools to be the best actor that he can be. I want to help foster that.

it works.

Children born into poverty are at risk for dropping out of school, substance abuse, incarceration and teen parenting. We provide a salaried, professional mentor, called a Friend, for their entire childhood, from kindergarten through high school graduation. 12½ years. No matter what.

We select the children facing the highest risks. 77% have experienced four or more of the 13 indicators of risk listed below:

• Home instability• Domestic abuse • Child welfare involvement• Parent health problems• Poverty • Single parent households• Food insecurity• Parent substance abuse• Lack of parental involvement • Parent incarceration• Born to a teen parent• Parent criminal behavior• Low parental education

In addition, priority concerns were identified for the program:

1. Violence exposure2. Addiction exposure 3. Loss of a parent

Almost of the youth in the program had at least one priority risk indicator in the past year.

$1=$7It makes economic sense. The Harvard Business School Association of Oregon estimated that for every $1 invested in Friends of the Children, the community benefits over $7 in saved expenses that ONE child would have incurred. Supporting one child saves the community $900,000.

This past year, ALL eligible youth received a high school diploma or GED*.

*Based on the most recent school data available (2013-2014 school report card data)

98% of our youth AVOIDED the juvenile justice system.

98% of our youth AVOIDED early parenting.

volunteer spotlight:Tiffany Anderson

Tiffany, who works at Seattle University, is one of our outstanding volunteers. A University of Washington alumna, she is contemplating starting a teaching career with a focus on English.

Because she understands what it is like to face barriers and feel like there is only one path to follow, Tiffany connects personally with the mission of Friends of the Children. “I am the only one in my family who graduated from college, and neither my dad nor my mom finished high school,” Tiffany said. “I grew up with a stigma because of my family and I wanted to break that.” She has achieved that goal.

Tiffany has been a tutor at Friends of the Children for five months. According to Nicole Thomas, our education director, the tutoring program is in place to provide individualized support to each student. While her focus is on reading and English, she also helps k-5 youth with basic math skills. Being a kid a heart, Tiffany tries to merge learning with playing whenever she gets the opportunity. “We play with boxes a lot,” she said. “We go inside the box and we read. So then the kids are reading and they’re in a box and having fun. How much better can it get than that, you know?”

Richard Murray, our community engagement coordinator, has witnessed her interactions with the youth. “There is a combination of laughter and learning that accompanies Tiffany’s work with the youth. The youth always seem to enjoy interacting with Tiffany, even when tackling difficult problems,” Richard said. “Tiffany is able to break problems into understandable steps with humor and guidance.”

Learning hasn’t always been easy for her. She says she knows she can connect with some of the kids on that level. “Learning was a struggle for me because I also have a disability, ADHD,” she said. “I’m just really hoping they feel safe and know that it is not so bad to learn.”

Nakeya’s story After graduating from Pepperdine University with a bachelor’s degree in advertising, Nakeya Isabell always wanted to return to Seattle. Giving back to her community is important because she understands how hard it is for young people to make it out of poverty, and Friends of the Children is a perfect fit.

“I appreciate our long-term commitment to our youth. I view it as a chance for me to give back to the community I grew up in and be a tangible example of perseverance and beating the statistics of a ‘poor, at-risk child,’” Nakeya said.

She mentors nine young women ranging from eight to 17 years old, who she calls “my girls,” and through the consistency of seeing them every week, Nakeya has built lasting relationships with each of them that will stand the test of time. “The youth have the ability to beat the odds and break the cycle of poverty,” Nakeya said. “I needed to be a part of that.”

For Nakeya, academic success and building her girls’ confidence is very important. She wants to make sure they have the tools they need to succeed in life. “When you know your worth, it will help you make worthy decisions,” Nakeya said.

Tyesha’s* storyPartnering with elementary schools in the Central District and Rainier Valley of Seattle, Friends of the Children selects youth who face the highest risk of school failure and dropout, and other poor outcomes. This is no exception with Nakeya’s girls, specifically Tyesha. At the age of 10, Tyesha suddenly lost her mother. Growing up was tough as she had to move in with her aunt. Struggling to follow her aunt’s rules, Tyesha lashed out, yelling at her siblings and cousins. Her academics suffered tremendously, as she wasn’t participating in class or turning in homework on time.

Her Friend, Nakeya, came into her life at the perfect time. Nakeya relates to her girls in a personal way because she grew up in the same neighborhood, facing similar obstacles. When Nakeya first met Tyesha she would not say much. She often stayed by herself and wouldn’t speak to other kids her age. Nakeya had to prompt her to say hello and she would follow Nakeya almost everywhere to avoid interacting with other children. Nakeya said building Tyesha’s self-confidence would be an uphill battle, and yet she was determined to help her. Tyesha was not trusting, and Nakeya knew she would have to show Tyesha she would not abandon her. That she would be there for her no matter what. Nakeya created a safe space for them at the shore of Lake Washington. When they went to the beach, they each collected five stones to throw into the lake. The first three stones they threw in the lake were things they wanted to leave behind. Then they threw one stone in for something they were grateful for, and the last stone represented something they appreciated in each other and their friendship.

“I knew when we started this activity I would have to put myself in a vulnerable position to gain her trust,” Nakeya said. “She knows that it is a safe space and we share in confidence. It has built so much trust between us.”

Nakeya also talks to Tyesha about how important it is to graduate high school and the opportunity that comes along with that success. During their time together, they worked on homework assignments to bring Tyesha’s grades up and it’s working.

“Nakeya is always there for me. Last year my GPA was a 1.2 and now it’s a 2.8,” Tyesha said. “I remember last year I wasn’t doing good in science, and she sat down with me to help me do my work.”

Now at 16 years old, Tyesha is thriving academically and passing all her classes. She is into fashion, and her personal goals are to graduate high school and go on to college. Throughout this process, she has also become a better role model, trying to instill the same lessons she learns with Nakeya in her younger siblings and cousins.

“Tyesha is resilient, she continues to fight and persevere,” Nakeya said. “In our time together I have seen so much growth in her and I am so proud of her accomplishments.”
