Friendship Circle of Washington is a vibrant community built on connection, compassion, and inclusion. Through a wide range of innovative programs, we bring together children and young adults with special needs, their families, and teen volunteers to create meaningful relationships and life-changing experiences. From the individualized support of Friends@Home and the energy of Sunday Circle, to the skill-building in Life Skills, the exploration of Teen & Young Adult Adventures, and the joy of Birthday Club and Holiday Programs, each experience is carefully designed to foster growth, confidence, and a deep sense of belonging. Our Summer Camp adds another layer of fun and connection, giving participants a chance to engage in full days of activities, build friendships, and create memories that last all year long. Our programs don’t just support participants—they celebrate them. Children with special needs gain confidence and friendships that go beyond the program. Parents find relief, community, and connection through programs like Mom’s Night Out, while teens become compassionate leaders, gaining hands-on training and real-world empathy. The impact of U-Matter, our teen-led mental health initiative, is a powerful example of what happens when young people are trusted to lead conversations and build safe spaces around mental wellness. What sets Friendship Circle apart is our focus on relationships. Every interaction— whether it’s sharing a laugh during a group outing or offering support in a quiet moment —is part of a larger effort to build a more inclusive, understanding world. These programs plant the seeds of lifelong growth, acceptance, and connection—not only for our participants, but for everyone involved. OUR PROGRAMS OUR PROGRAMS
