Bay Area Friendship Circle

The Bay Area Friendship Circle creates an inclusive and supportive community for children, teens, and young adults with special needs, and their families. At our programs, participants are matched with a trained teen volunteer buddy who provides friendship and support. Participants and volunteers participate in a variety of fun and engaging social, educational, and recreational programs designed to include, involve, and motivate. Our programs allow participants the space to be themselves and make lasting friendships in a safe, supportive, welcoming, fun, and inclusive environment. We create opportunities for families to meet, make friends, and gain support from one another.
