Mission

Founded on the bedrock foundation of "love your fellow as yourself," it is the Friendship Circle's mission to...

• Engage children and teens with special needs through a full range of experiences.
• Provide parents and families of children and teens with special needs with much needed respite and support.
• Enrich, inspire, and motivate teenagers through sharing of themselves with others.
• Create a sense of responsibility and connection to the our community for teenagers through educational and social opportunities.

Vision

We envision a world in which people with special needs and their families experience acceptance, inclusion and friendship as contributing members of society. We foresee a future where they never again have to suffer the social isolation that has often been so prevalent in society.

The Friendship Circle aims to create an environment for teens that will nurture and inspire them with meaning, purpose, and self-value; a sense of connection to and responsibility for our community through innovative and stimulating programs. We see this as essential in developing and producing the members and leaders of tomorrow - our future.
