Become a Family Friend

The Family Friends program is a wonderful opportunity to engage your family in a meaningful relationship with an Achiever who needs some extra support. This unique program provides an opportunity for your family to directly interact with an Achiever and to support him or her through activities, outings and the provision of supplies.

The committment consists of:

• Minimum two year commitment to your Achiever
• $1,200 donation over two years
• Engage in at least three outings with your Achiever and his/her Friend each year (two of these outings can be events organized by Friends-Boston that you will be invited to)
• Purchase a backpack, school supplies and winter coat for your Achiever (we will ask you to do this in September)

Family Friends is a perfect way for your family to share your unique experiences and learn from an Achiever. If you and your family decide to join this program, we will match your family with an Achiever, provide you with an orientation and assist you in scheduling visits for the year in advance to work with your schedule.

Please feel free to contact the Friends-Boston office if you have any questions about the program or if your family would like to get involved!
