The Friendship Circle provides assistance and support to the families of children with special needs. 

 

In addition to helping those in need, the Friendship Circle empowers and enriches its network of volunteers, the majority of whom are teenagers, by enabling them to reap the vast rewards of giving of themselves. 

 

The Friendship Circle was founded in 2005 by Chabad of Arizona. 

 

The Friendship Circle is committed to serving all members of the community regardless of religious affiliation. 

 

The Friendship Circle consists of five parts – volunteers, children, parents, staff, and supporters. The true beauty of the Circle is how all of the elements link together to form a seamless community of friendship. 

 

Just as a circle has neither end nor beginning, our community offers promise, hope and love that have no bounds. Who can say who benefits the most from the Friendship Circle programs – the child with special needs who learns how to ride a bicycle, or her parents who get a much needed break, or the volunteer whose spirit soars to new heights? 

 

Through a wide range of services, projects and facilities, the Friendship Circle is able to touch the lives of many people each year.
