ABC’s new hit show, Oprah’s Big Give, is challenging contestants to change the lives of complete strangers. The task is simple: Give Big or Go Home!
Now Oprah Winfrey has challenged Portland to give big!
She asked KATU and Family Matters “What would you do to change the lives of people in need!"
We accepted the challenge and created Oprah’s Big Give: Portland Pays It Forward to benefit Friends of the Children, a Portland youth mentoring program that reaches out to at-risk children.
This is how YYOL is "playing" with Friends of the Children!
Good Morning Kathy,
The YYOL program looks like it would be a very beneficial curriculum for our youth. I would appreciate the opportunity to share it with our Friends (mentors) and children. One of the most important elements of our program is that we help teach the skills of positive self-efficacy… meaning that through transmission of believing in our children, often when other adults do not, causes them over time to believe in themselves. The YYOL program seems like it would help us formalize this aspect of our program in a new way. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks!
Joe Bergen
Program Director
Friends of the Children
