As Arkansas's leader in serving children and adults with disabilities, behavioral health, and complex support needs, Friendship Community Care is compelled by good conscience and moral obligation to use our expertise to ensure that we continue serving all of our consumers without regard to race or color. We want to be part of advancing the national dialogue that is going on around the United States to help bring about real, lasting change everywhere.

At Friendship Community Care we work to empower people with disabilities and behavioral health needs and to lead dignified lives. We hope that this empowerment will positively impact people of color in Arkansas. We want to be sure that there are no barriers to our services that might disparately impact our minority populations.

Our mission is to be a forward-thinking humanitarian organization that promotes excellence and leadership in the care we offer our communities. We take our mission to the people we serve seriously and have always emphasized the importance of our mission to our employees.

We serve vulnerable populations through our work and understand that vulnerable populations are often denied the rights we as Americans hold so dear - including to be valued, to be respected, and to be heard.

We recommit to using our position as an organization, employer, and member of the Arkansas community to make sure that the care we offer our communities and the individuals we serve is free from racism and that the rights that should be afforded to all Arkansans and Americans are protected and honored.

An anonymous source once said, "There are no unwanted children, just unfound families." Project Zero agrees! And we are passionate about finding them.

Did you know that out of the over 400,000 children and teens in foster care in the United States, over 100,000 of them are waiting to be adopted? 100,000 children and teens whose parental rights have been terminated and who are languishing in foster care waiting, hoping, praying and longing for a forever family. Project Zero believes that every waiting child deserves a place to call home, and we are committed to thinking outside the box in order to make that dream a reality.

The mission of Project Zero is to diligently and enthusiastically promote adoption through the foster care system with the ultimate goal of finding a forever family for every child who is waiting.
We do this by:

Raising AWARENESS about the need for adoptive families through the Arkansas Heart Gallery; online exhibit and three traveling exhibits, through short films featuring waiting kids, and through promotional products and speeches.

Building HOPE in and relationships with waiting children/teens through exciting monthly events filled with new experiences.

Helping to CONNECT waiting children/teens with the right forever family through our partnership with Arkansas DCFS, through 'connection' events that bring waiting families and waiting children together and through one-on-one interaction with interested and waiting families.

HISTORY
In 1999, while working as a young volunteer in refugee camps during the Kosovo War and genocide, Clint Borgen recognized the need for an organization that could focus U.S. political attention on extreme poverty. In 2003, after graduating from Washington State University and interning at the United Nations, Borgen began developing the organization.

In need of startup funding, Borgen took a job living on a fishing vessel docked in Dutch Harbor, Alaska (the same location as "The Deadliest Catch"). From humble beginnings in one of the most remote regions of the world, The Borgen Project was born. One man with a laptop and a budget that came from his Alaska paychecks has evolved into a national campaign with volunteers operating in 911 U.S. cities.

METHODOLOGY
From ending segregation to providing women with the right to vote, nearly every wrong ever righted in history was achieved through advocacy. The Borgen Project addresses the big picture. We operate at the political level advancing policies and programs that improve living conditions for those living on less than $1 per day.
[Read more]
HOW WE OPERATE
Advocate: We meet with U.S. Congressional leaders to secure support for crucial poverty-reducing legislation.

Mobilize: We mobilize people across the globe behind efforts to make poverty a political priority.

Educate: We teach basic advocacy skills that allow citizens to communicate with their government.

Issue Message: We build awareness of global issues and innovations in poverty-reduction through our online and community presence.

Since our nation's founding, discriminatory policies and laws have created an unequal system in which Black communities have had their civil rights and liberties denied and have been systemically locked out of opportunities in education, housing, employment, and more.

Through our Systemic Equality agenda, we will use nationwide litigation, advocacy, and public education to advance laws and policies rooted in racial equity and end discriminatory policies, laws, and practices that have an outsized impact on Black communities.

Help us in our fight to ensure all people have equal access to housing, voting rights, education, and more by learning more, pledging your support, or donating. When we have full and equal access to education, jobs, housing, voting rights and more, better futures are possible.

HISTORY
In 1999, while working as a young volunteer in refugee camps during the Kosovo War and genocide, Clint Borgen recognized the need for an organization that could focus U.S. political attention on extreme poverty. In 2003, after graduating from Washington State University and interning at the United Nations, Borgen began developing the organization.

In need of startup funding, Borgen took a job living on a fishing vessel docked in Dutch Harbor, Alaska (the same location as "The Deadliest Catch"). From humble beginnings in one of the most remote regions of the world, The Borgen Project was born. One man with a laptop and a budget that came from his Alaska paychecks has evolved into a national campaign with volunteers operating in 911 U.S. cities.

METHODOLOGY
From ending segregation to providing women with the right to vote, nearly every wrong ever righted in history was achieved through advocacy. The Borgen Project addresses the big picture. We operate at the political level advancing policies and programs that improve living conditions for those living on less than $1 per day.
