Say 'yes' to volunteering time and friendship, because we know someone who really needs a Friend, it's a child with special needs. The Friendship Circle's got three terrific ways for you to be a part of something that's really incredible. We know teens can and do make a difference, and being a volunteer is a great way to give an extraordinary gift to an extraordinary kid! You'll make lots of new friends too! Why not enjoy activities with other teens just like you, teens who know that giving to others makes you feel better about yourself and the world! Friends at Home is made up teens visiting a special needs child in their home and the program also includes tons of other programs to become a part of! Join the circle. Make the world of a difference in the life of a special needs child.
