Bay Area Friendship Circle provides a warm, supportive, and accepting community where everyone belongs. For children and teens with special needs, we provide year-round programs ranging from Sunday programs to summer and winter camps. For every program, your child will be matched with a trained volunteer buddy who gives them friendship and support. Our family events are a wonderful way to build friendships with other families.
The Friendship Circle offers volunteer teens in 8th - 12th grades the opportunity to meet tons of other teens as giving, committed and fun-loving as you are! You’ll make an impact on the life of a child with special needs and become a more motivated and experienced volunteer.
The Friendship Circle is made up of five parts: teen volunteers, children, parents, staff and supporters. With your support, all five parts link together to create a welcoming and inclusive environment with enriching programs for children with special needs along with opportunities for personal growth and development for our teen volunteers.
