About Friendship Circle

The Friendship Circle extends a helping hand to families who have children special needs and involves them in a full range of Jewish and social experiences. The Circle's unique formula introduces teenage volunteers to the children and through shared experiences both are enriched.

Every member of our community deserves to share the joys of our Jewish experience. Sharing our tradition with children who have special needs is particularly rewarding. The Friendship Circle offers a unique opportunity for teenagers to connect with these children.

The Friendship Circle touches so many in our community:

• The child with special needs looks forward to a weekly visit and the opportunity to play with and learn from their older friends.
• The teenage volunteer learns the value of giving and cherishes the experience of making a difference in a child's life and bringing a smile to his or her face.
• The childs family gets a needed respite and the pleasure of seeing their child become part of the community circle.

The 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!
