| FORM 990 PART I LINE 6 | Corporate Volunteers: One of the main goals Friends-Boston is to mobilize volunteers and resources, creating and sustaining a network of support around each Achiever for his or her long-term success. Reading Buddies Volunteers: these volunteers work once a month for one hour of their year of service with their Achiever and a Fidelity Reading Buddy in a three-way mentoring relationship focusing on encouraging the Achievers love of reading and his or her skills in meeting and connecting with new people. Reading Buddies expanded from 10 to 30 Achievers and to 50 employee volunteers. The program also helped provide holiday gifts for all Achievers and their siblings. Caring volunteers: Through our unique Family Friends Program, Achievers have a connection to a family who is interested in learning from them and mentoring them. Family Friends are often major supporters of Friends-Boston and end up being an invaluable resource to help Achievers to accomplish many things over the years. Last summer one Family Friend helped pay for an Achiever to attend football camp and once when a family was down on their luck, a Family Friend furnished their house with gently used furniture. Often the resources Family Friends provide are as simple as an outing on a sailboat or a trip to the Boston Ballet. |
