The Friendship Circle program is amazing. The main mission is to make a better world one friendship at a time. This is furthered by facilitating friendships with individuals that have a difficult time making friends–kids with disabilities.
There are chapters around the country. The original one started in Michigan and they have an amazing program, one we can all hope to have in the future. Here is a link to their web: http://www.friendshipcircle.org/
We also have a local chapter here in Seattle. We are working to make it fill all of Seattle’s needs, but we are new and small, so take a look and Donate if you can! There is so much to do and so many great people involved take a look. Here is a link: http://www.friendshipcirclewa.org/
Our local chapter is having a Dinner to thank all of the Volunteers this weekend, May 6th! Dev is both a volunteer and a friend! They meet 2-4 times a month and hang out and work towards peer to peer interactions and fun!
I’ll post more soon with more information after the dinner!

I represent a group of volunteers and we’ve been on the lookout for sources of knowledge for our own web site. We obviously will not be copying but you’ve given me
several fantastic thoughts. Kudos!

Thanks so much Jen! We are so impressed with the way Dev has taken hold. We are working on figuring out how we can make it to the state races… as there may be the cheer banquet..
