Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Inclusion for people with disabilities throughout the community is a challenge. People without disabilities are often unsure how to interact with or support someone with a disability and community events are often not inclusive by design. Children and young adults with disabilities often find true friendships hard to make and a challenge to find inclusive opportunities to participate in throughout the community.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
[email protected]
Children with disabilities are matched with Teen Friends in the community without disabilities for weekly visits throughout the school year in the child's home to encourage friendship and acceptance.
Birthday Circle
Monthly events throughout the community bringing all our members with disabilities, siblings and Teen Friends together to celebrate birthdays in that month, as often children with disabilities do not get the chance to celebrate birthdays with friends.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Friendship Circle builds an inclusive community one friendship at a time. We do this by creating inclusive social experiences in the home and throughout the community where children and youth with disabilities and Teen Friends without disabilities interact and meet each other in a fun and carefree environment.
1) [email protected] - [email protected] is our core program that matches 2 Teen Friends with a child with a disability for weekly visits in the child's home throughout the school year for consistent friendship.
2) Birthday Circle - Birthday Circle is our monthly event program that promotes inclusion in the community by bringing all our friends with disabilities and Teens without disabilities together (with all siblings) at different venues throughout the community where birthdays in that month are celebrated with friends. All our events are free for all who attend.
3) Community Engagement Events - We create events throughout the community to encourage inclusion to the general community not involved in our organization.
