Sunday Friends is about:

CONTRIBUTING ... LEARNING ... EARNING ... CHANGING

Here's how it works:

Contributing

Parents and children make meaningful contributions to the community through writing, cooking, art, cleaning and more.

Learning

Family members participate in classes and hands-on learning activities, focused on academics and practical life skills.

Earning

All participants earn tickets for their contributions and their participation. They save those tickets in interest-bearing bank accounts and spend them in our Treasure Chest stores.

Changing

As a result, everything changes, from self-concepts to parenting effectiveness to economic stability to families’ relationships with their communities. And, futures change for good.

++++++++++++++++

Sunday Friends' approach of giving opportunities instead of handouts helps families break the poverty cycle. Parents and their children are able to practice money management and practical life skills that they can apply in their schools, workplaces and homes throughout the week. This fosters developmental assets in children and economic stability in families.

As program participants experience repeated positive outcomes for their efforts, they grow to understand that they have the power to take control of their lives and to make a difference in the lives of others. This realization has instilled the needed confidence in hundreds of Sunday Friends participants to make successful, life-changing decisions.
