Friends of the Children has been honored to grow our partnership with World Champion gymnast and youth advocate Simone Biles. Over the years, Simone has passionately engaged with Friends of the Children and leveraged her platform time and time again to support and empower youth facing the greatest challenges including foster care, intergenerational poverty, and mental health.
The Champions for Children Circle is a community leadership network supporting Friends of the Children – Coachella Valley. We believe every child facing the challenges of poverty in our community deserves a real chance to thrive.
You want to make a difference, but finding the right way to help can be challenging. The Circle offers flexible, meaningful volunteer opportunities that fit your schedule, interests, and strengths.
Whether you enjoy connecting people, hosting gatherings, sharing stories, building awareness, or opening professional doors, you can help connect our mission with the people and resources that sustain it. Your involvement helps build support for our promise: a dedicated, professional mentor who walks alongside a child for 12+ years—no matter what.
Join the Champions for Children Circle. Together, we can open doors to brighter futures for children right here in the Coachella Valley.
