Form the circle

It takes every member of your family to form the circle that completes our community, including your child with special needs. Friendship Circle exists to meet the needs of your child in a wonderful, unique way.

Through structured programs, teenage volunteers become a friend and mentor to your son or daughter, offering them the benefits of friends and activities that every child enjoys. Our dedicated staff work with our volunteers so that they can be an asset to you and your family and foster everlasting friendship with your child.

For our volunteers, the rewards go both ways

Our volunteers enjoy connecting with friends at our workshops, while learning more about disabilities, and enjoying fun and exciting trips as rewards.
