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

more about us
They could have the best professional help, but they don’t necessarily have friends.
The Friendship Circle is a program that involves teenage and young adult volunteers in helping children, teens, and young adults with special needs and their families. These individuals with special needs may suffer from loneliness in addition to their challenges. They don’t attend regular social gatherings like most, and their classmates and peers may not interact with them in the same way. They may be missing extra attention, love and friendship from friends and people in their community.
The solution is the Friendship Circle. We provide assistance to families with physically or intellectually challenged children, teens, and young adults. The Circle’s unique formula introduces teenage and young adult volunteers to our friends, and through shared experiences both are enriched.
what guides us
Mission, vision and the work we do
our inspiration
None of us is complete unless all of us are included
The Rebbe’s unconditional love for people knew no bounds. To the Rebbe they all belonged, and he made them feel at home. His warm smile would heal every aching heart. He was always there, offering counsel and blessings, comfort and hope, and often material help as well.
It was his belief that none of us is complete unless all of us are included. That is the very core of what the Rebbe teaches, and it is this single idea that motivates the Friendship Circle.
