Create an opportunity for families with young children to experience Friendship Circle early on.
The mission of our Junior Friends opportunities is to provide the opportunity for younger children of diverse abilities and interests, both within the FC community and in the greater community, to come together and experience FC programming, independently or with their family; to provide the opportunity for fun and friendship in an inclusive environment.
Friendship, Fun, Community, Opportunity for connections, Inclusion
Our Junior Friends operates on the idea that providing unique experiences and an inclusive environment allows for our younger members to begin to establish and develop genuine friendships.
Allow families with young children to get to know the organization
Promote fun and friendship among members
Allow families to engage with other families from the FC and greater community
Promote community engagement among our younger members and their families
Friendship Circle members through age 8 can participate in Junior Friends programming. Children who are not members of the Friendship Circle and who are younger than 5 years of age can participate with a parent or guardian.
Financial donations are the most direct way to support Friendship Circle. Please consider making a donation to keep our Circle growing!
