FriendCHIPS 5K
About the 5k
Join us for the Annual FriendCHIPS 5K: Race for Mentoring to support youth mentoring in Essex. FriendCHIPS pairs students with caring adult mentors who meet weekly to build lasting, meaningful relationships. We serve 3rd-12th grade youth in the Essex Westford School District.
The impact of youth mentoring is profound – according to Mentor, the National Partnership for Mentoring, young adults who were at-risk for falling off track but had a mentor are: 55% more likely to enroll in college, 78% more likely to volunteer regularly, and 130% more likely to hold leadership positions. Not to mention, 90% are interested in becoming a mentor themselves!
Come walk, run, or roll! All proceeds will benefit FriendCHIPS Youth Mentoring to support and expand the program. There will be food and prizes for all!

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we will not be holding a 2020 FriendCHIPS 5k Race.
