    • Mission

    Our mission is to provide a foundation for underprivileged youth to overcome life's difficult challenges, discover opportunity, and realize their own unique potential. Our Core Values are: Demonstrate Love, Lead By Example, and A Higher Calling

    About Us

    FTN hosts the annual Christmas Party for the LA General Medical Center. However, our main programming is year-round. The Bow & Arrow Mentorship Program is an events-based program for children and their families who are experiencing homelessness and poverty. Each bi-monthly event is centered around one of our main pillars including Goal Setting, Friendship & Team Building, Mental & Emotional Health, Physical & Body Wellness, Financial Education/Job Preparedness, and Giving Back/Gratitude . We believe that with these priceless life skills and our community of trusted mentors, the children in our program can grow up confident, hopeful, secure, and prepared to conquer the challenges they face and to reach their unique potential.
