The Friendship Circle is a unique organization with a refreshing approach to helping families of children with special needs. Our innovative programming and creative activities are designed to foster relationships with community teenagers and the children by drawing on the love, boundless energy, and dynamism of our teenage population

The Friendship Circle touches many in our community:

• The child looks forward to a weekly visit and an opportunity to play with and learn from friends.
• The teenage volunteer learns to cherish the value of giving and of making a difference in a child's life.
• The child's family gets a needed respite and the pleasure of seeing their loved one become part of the community.

Children's Circle

Each Third Sunday throughout the school year, teenagers and their Special Friends spend two wonderful hours together, under the guidance of a skilled therapist, making art projects, telling stories, singing, playing sports and participating in Judaic activities.
