Who we are

Friends of DeKalb ROE is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing goods and services to at-risk youth in DeKalb County.

Our goal is to provide:

  • youth and family counseling services
  • educational workshops and supplies to parents and educators
  • intervention and prevention of chronic absenteeism
  • goods and services to students struggling academically because their families are struggling economically
  • a quality education and bright future for all students of DeKalb County, Illinois

How can you help?

Friend of DeKalb ROE relies on donations that allow us to offer services outside of the grant-specified services we already provide. Already, with generous donations from 100+ Women Who Care, McCormick Foundation, Horizons Unlimited Foundation,  DeKalb County Community Foundation and several individual donors, we have been able to deliver services and goods through our Family Success Program and Basics DeKalb County. 

If you want to be a part of making our goals come true please consider donating on our Facebook page or email us for more options!
We proudly participate in Give DeKalb County each year in May and greatly appreciate all donors!
