Husbands + wives can mentor one child together.

Both spouses complete our interview, screening, background check, reference check and training process.

Then comes the fun part—building a friendship, making memories and being there for a child.

We’ve seen incredible friendships grow through our couples matches.

🌟Friendship Friday🌟
Could you be the friend one of these kids is waiting for? You could make a BIG difference in just one hour a week. 💙
They’re not looking for someone perfect. They’re looking for YOU! Someone who will show up, spend time with them, listen to them, have fun and build a friendship.

Back in February, Scott Paulson won a guided fishing trip with Luke Hagen in our Silent Auction—and recently got to cash in on his prize! Scott and Ricky had a fantastic day on the Missouri River and, thanks to Luke, limited out early in the day! 🎣🙌

We love seeing our auction donations turn into great experiences and memories. A big thank-you to Luke for donating this awesome fishing trip and making it a day to remember!
