The Friendship Circle extends a helping hand to families who have children with special needs and involves them in a full range of social experiences. Teens who volunteer get a meaningful chance to build friendships and make a difference in the lives of these children.
Teens can volunteer in Friendship Circle's Teen Scene, Culinary Club, and Friends at Home programs:
Teen Scene
Teen volunteers and teens with special needs meet up regularly for fun group hangouts, social activities, and friendship-building experiences. It's a great chance for everyone involved to have fun and improve social skills!
Culinary Club
Teens explore delicious cuisines from around the world alongside talented chefs. They get to socialize with friends, uncover new cooking talents, and leave each session with tasty creations and newfound confidence.
Friends at Home
Teen volunteers are matched with children who have special needs for weekly home visits filled with friendship and fun. Volunteers form meaningful bonds in a comfortable home setting, giving families much-needed rest and support. Teens gain invaluable experience in kindness and empathy, while providing companionship that reduces feelings of isolation for the children they visit.
