Volunteer Training & Events
Our special friends blossom and gain the confidence they need to make the most of their abilities and talents.
Their teen volunteers learn the priceless value of giving, the curative power of friendship, and the vital importance of integrating children with special needs into our communities.
Their
parents and siblings receive much-needed respite and support from the Friendship Circle community, and all those who assist us.
The Friendship Circle links volunteers, children, parents, staff, and supporters in a seamless circle of friendship that makes miracles happen every day.
