Circle of Friends Children Services
Mission
Our mission is to empower BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) families and communities with the education, resources, and support needed to prevent violence and create a nurturing environment where every child can flourish. Through love, empathy, and collaboration, we are dedicated to breaking the cycle of violence and forging a path towards a future of safety, resilience, and boundless possibilities.
Our Why
Our "Why" is to be the architects of a future where BIPOC children not only survive but thrive. It's a mission fueled by the fiery belief that every child, regardless of their background, deserves an environment that nurtures their potential. We strive for success not just as an achievement but as a birthright, a promise we make to every BIPOC child to be the guardians of their well-being, ensuring they grow up in a world that celebrates their brilliance and provides the support needed to reach their fullest potential.
Our Vision
Our vision is a world where every child grows up in an environment free from violence, surrounded by love, respect, and the opportunity to thrive. Through our unwavering commitment, we aspire to create a community where families are empowered, children are cherished, and the cycle of violence is replaced with a legacy of hope, strength, and lasting change.
