At Friendship Circle, we provide a nurturing and inclusive community for families with children and young adults who have special needs. Through innovative programs, meaningful friendships, and unwavering support, we help families discover joy, connection, and empowerment for their loved ones.
Our Friendship Circle offers a helping hand to families with children and young adults who have special needs. We promote greater awareness and understanding of the unique needs and gifts of people with diverse abilities and encourage respect and empathy for those facing challenges.
Our participants are paired with teenage volunteers through a variety of innovative programming. Together, they enjoy shared experiences, are empowered, and gain enrichment through these meaningful friendships. This connection is mutually beneficial – fostering growth, joy, and an inclusion mindset on both sides.
Friendship Circle is made up of 5 elements: children, families, volunteers, staff, and supporters. The beauty of the circle is how we all link together to form a seamless circle of friendship.
No one will be turned away for a lack of funds. We look forward to meeting you.
