National Mentoring Month

Friends Seattle National Mentoring Month 1

During the month of January, Friends of the Children-Seattle is celebrating the power of mentorship through National Mentoring Month. For 25 years, we have made a commitment to impact generational change in our community by supporting youth facing the toughest systemic barriers realize their power with a professional mentor for 12+ years—no matter what.


Mentors at Friends-Seattle dedicate themselves to supporting youth as they navigate growing social, emotional, and personal challenges throughout their life. Professional Mentor, now Senior Director of Programs-Teen, Sheena, has made that commitment to Aliya.

Throughout high school, Sheena supported Aliya in navigating the difficulties of growing up and incredibly difficult times Aliya had to face. Sheena and Friends-Seattle remained a support system for Aliya and her family for 12+ years, seeing her graduate high school, college at University of Washington-Tacoma, and securing her first corporate internship.

Throughout the month of January, shop at these Seattle-local businesses to celebrate National Mentoring Month and support Friends of the Children-Seattle.
