Friends of Nick (FON) is a non-profit organization that delivers character-building programs in partnership with inner city middle school and their parents.

Focused on the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade levels, students and teachers explore and commit to critical character strengths, such as “courage,” “integrity,” “perseverance,” and “compassion.”

Students, parents and caregivers participate through workshops in “conversations that matter” to gain a deeper mutual understanding of their own character as it relates to their families, their schools and their lives.
