FRIENDS FIRST operated as a nonprofit organization based in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The entity focused on providing mentoring or supportive community services, aligning with common objectives of nonprofit organizations in the sector, and served a local or regional audience. While the organization previously maintained an independent presence, it underwent an asset purchase in September 2022, resulting in its acquisition by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado, which indicates a consolidation within the mentoring and youth-support landscape. In the context of the broader mentoring and youth services field, the transition places FRIENDS FIRST within a network of organizations dedicated to mentorship and related programs. The acquisition suggests a strategic alignment with partner entities pursuing similar goals, and situates the former organization within Colorado’s ecosystem of nonprofit youth services, alongside well-known programs and partnerships. The move reflects ongoing activity in the sector, with neighboring organizations continuing to provide services through collaborative arrangements and regional access points.
