Mission The Friendship Circle, a Jewish, not-for-profit organization, brings together teenage volunteers and children with special needs for hours of fun, friendship, and amazing personal growth. The program empowers children with special needs, while giving teens in middle and high school the opportunity to use their innate gifts to engage in meaningful volunteer work. The special needs children learn to have positive and meaningful friendships with their teen mentors while their family’s gain much-needed respite and support. From the children to their families to all the volunteers involved, this program touches the lives of everyone.
