❤️ Every Great Friendship Has a First Chapter! ❤️

This summer, our youth are building more than reading skills -- they're building meaningful connections! 📚🥰

Through our Summer Reading Buddies program with Eventide in Fargo, we've partnered with residents to share stories, laughter, and conversation. Together, they are strengthening literacy skills to avoid the "summer slump" -- all while creating intergenerational relationships that enrich the lives of everyone involved. 👩‍👦

Thank you, Eventide, for welcoming Friends FM into your facility with such warmth and creativity. We loved spending time with some of the wisest people in our community -- and left feeling loved, encouraged and inspired to keep reading all summer long. 📚

We can’t wait to come back!🩵

Splashed in color, and full of smiles! 🌈✨

A few of our youth wrapped up the school year with the annual Ellen Hopkins Elementary Color Run, an end-of-year celebration where all students and families come together to have fun, cheer each other on, and support the PTA.

We love opportunities like this for our kids. It's not just about running, it's about showing up, building confidence, and helping them to feel part of something bigger. 🩵

And for the kids who don't think of themselves as runners? They crossed that finish line too. And THAT is everything.🙌

Preschool. Elementary school. Middle school. High school. We're here for it ALL. 🚌🍎

Most programs dip in and out of a child's life. What makes Friends FM different?

At Friends FM, we stay for ALL of it. 12 years, from preschool through high school graduation. No gaps. No matter what the circumstance of the child or family.

We don't just pair a volunteer with a child. We invest -- irrationally, and intentionally -- by placing a long-term, salaried mentor in their corner for 1️⃣2️⃣ years. Yes, TWELVE years!

Because some kids like Carson don't need another short-term solution, they need someone invested long-term who will ensure there's a graduation day -- and endless possibilities beyond that. 🎓

They've got moves AND heart! 💃✨

The Dance ColLab recently put together and donated hygiene bags for the youth in our program — proving that generosity is always in style. 🥰

Kids helping kids. This is what community looks like, one act of kindness at a time! Thank you, The Dance ColLab! We are so grateful for your continued support of the Friends FM mission! 🩵

🌱 A Day on the Farm, A Day of Impact 🌱

Our mentors and youth had the opportunity to get their hands dirty while giving back by spending a morning with the wonderful team & volunteers at Farm in the Dell of the Red River Valley. From weeding to planting, our youth had the opportunity to experience working in the gardens first-hand, all while giving back to the community. 🤗

There is something powerful about mentors and youth serving side-by-side. Through volunteer experiences, our youth learn the value of compassion, responsibility, and community engagement while our mentors model what it means to make a positive impact. ✨

You always dreamed of umping in the big leagues... We can't promise that, but we CAN promise it'll be the most rewarding call you ever make. ⚽

We are in need of volunteer umpires for "Kickin' It with Friends" next Thursday! No experience needed, just show up ready to have FUN and help us raise funds for local youth who need and deserve a champion in their corner. 🩵

👉 Sign up to volunteer by calling 701.532.1465 or emailing [email protected]

Make A Difference Monday! ✨

We are so grateful for our friends at Auto-Owners Insurance! The team visited us at The Clubhouse, presented us with a generous donation as their charity of choice, AND delivered snacks they collected through a snack drive -- which will help keep our kiddos fueled all summer long! 🙌

This kind of generosity goes beyond a single gift. Every snack, every dollar, every act of support fuels our program in a BIG way. Thank you, Auto-Owners Insurance, for continuing to show up for kids who need it most in the FM community🩵

A little encouragement from a trusted Friend... 🩵

Nathan is usually the first to say “no thanks” to trying something new. New places and new experiences can all feel a little overwhelming. 👎

When his Friend Joshua invited him to visit a farm, he wasn’t exactly excited about it. In fact, there were plenty of complaints on the way there. 😉

But something amazing happened once they arrived. Nathan started to open up. His smiles got bigger, and before long he was fully enjoying himself with the animals, even asking for a picture. By the end of the day, the boy who didn’t want to go -- didn't want to leave HIS new friends on the farm! 🐴

Sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement from their trusted Friend, and the confidence that they'll be with them every step of the way when trying something new. Way to go Nathan! 🤗
