ABOUT

The Friendship Circle is a program that brings together teenage and adult volunteers in helping children, teens, and adults with special needs and their families. These individuals with special needs may suffer from loneliness in addition to their handicaps. They could have the best professional help (doctors, social workers, etc.) but they don’t necessarily have friends! They don’t attend regular social gatherings like most, and their classmates and peers cannot interact with them in the same way as most. They may be missing extra attention, love, and friendship from friends and people in their community.

The solution is the Friendship Circle! The Friendship Circle provides assistance to families with children, teens, adults with disabilities.

The Friendship Circle's unique formula introduces teenage and young adult volunteers to friends and through shared experiences both are enriched.

The Friendship Circle is made up of five parts: volunteers, special friends, parents, staff, and supporters. The true beauty of the circle is how they all link together to form a seamless circle of friendship. Together, they can perform miracles.
