Eleanor Greenwald Birthday ClubEnjoy a visit from Friendship Circle volunteers equipped with complete party supplies for a celebration in your home!  Our volunteers and staff will make it a birthday that your child will always remember.  

Sunday Circle - Friendship Circle offers monthly Sunday programs with a focus on FUN! Children enjoy interactive music class, crafts, art, animal shows and much more! Every month is something new and exciting! Volunteers are on hand to help cater the experience to each child's individual needs. Pizza lunch is served.

Challah Baking Club - In honor of her Bat Mitzvah, join Moussia Szokovski for a full Challah Baking experience while bonding with other Jewish girls and doing this special mitzvah. The program will include Challah baking step by step from scratch! Challahs will then be sold and the proceeds will benefit the Friendship Circle.

Skating Club - The Friendship Circle is once again teaming up with the Frisch Ice Hockey team to provide a fabulous skating program for kids and teens with special needs.  Everyone enjoys time together on the rink, practicing and polishing their skills with the assistance of their very capable volunteers.

Hebrew School - The Mission of the Friendship Circle Hebrew School is to provide a Hebrew and Judaic education for children with special needs. Teachers focus on engaging the child’s sense of Jewish identity through exciting, hands-on learning. Children with special needs, ages three through twenty-one will develop a sense of Jewish pride and identity as they learn the value of our priceless heritage.

Camp - At the Friendship Circle camp, children who have special needs can have their school breaks transformed into an exciting camp experience. The fun-filled camps feature a variety of activities, games and sports, as well as field trips each day. Of course, our dedicated volunteers will be there to assist the children one-on-one, giving them an incredible experience. It's a time where children and volunteers build great friendships that they cherish and remember for a lifetime.

Teen Scene - The Teen Scene gives teens ages 12-21 the chance to get together for innovative social programming.  Teens look forward to these great opportunities to hang out with other teens and have FUN.   All programs are attended by high school volunteers who also serve as mentors to model appropriate social behavior.

Friends @ Home - Every week, pairs of teenage volunteers visit participating children in their homes, offering friendship and sharing activities. While the child is happily being entertained, the families enjoy a regular respite. Friends at Home visits can be arranged to accommodate a wide variety of schedules.  Please call our office to make arrangements: 201-262-7172.

Yedidainu - On days when the children have vacation, Friendship Circle will be coordinating programs in various local schools. This great camp experience will keep your child happily entertained!
