A friend of mine just got his green card. He is 21 years old. His parents are "out of status/ undocummented immigrants." Can he adjust their status?

Permanent residents (green card holders) cannot petition for their parents. Since it will be at least five years before your friend can apply for US citizenship, it is not reasonable to expect that he will be able to adjust his parents' status anytime soon.
In addition, if they entered illegally (without inspection) they will not be allowed to adjust at all.

Anyone applying for anything to do with immigration must be done by the one wanting something out of immigration.
If they are in the U.S. they are now illegal and would be deported. The Government knows that they are out of status and are looking for them.
but you can go to the site and read this for your self.

According to this, sorry- no- but I am not an immigration lawyer, just a librarian:

I am pretty sure he has to be a citizen. I think it is one of the big differences between a citizen and a green card holder.
the info is at uscis.gov

They need to go back to their country of origin and come back legally.
