FC Connect
As a volunteer you are the core of the Friendship Circle. To keep everybody connected and in touch, we need you to log your volunteering hours.
The FCconnect website and app makes it easy for you to communicate with us.
For each activity recorded in FCconnect, you will accumulate “Friendship Points” that you can redeem for a variety of awesome gifts.
Points you earn for volunteering can be used to purchase cool prizes on our website and will be used at an Auction at our Volunteer Celebration at the end of the year!
Volunteer Orientations
100FriendshipPoints
New volunteers are required to attend an orientation seminar with a parent before beginning to volunteer. This will help acquaint them with the responsibilities and privileges of volunteering. It will also help the volunteer choose the program that is the best fit for them. If you do not see a date that can work for you, please reach out to the Friendship Circle office for accommodations.
M.V.P.
After receiving wonderful feedback from local schools, we are excited to continue bringing our Mitzvah Volunteer Program (MVP) to day schools and Hebrew schools, giving even more students the opportunity to participate.
Designed especially for 6th graders, this interactive workshop teaches special needs awareness, inclusion, kindness, and sensitivity through engaging activities and a hands-on chesed project. It also serves as a meaningful introduction for students who will become future Friendship Circle volunteers, preparing them for their important role in our programs.
*Students can begin to volunteer at select FC programs after completing the MVP.
→ For 6th graders
To arrange to bring this program to a school or for a private group (minimum 15 students), please email [email protected] or call our office at 201-262-7172
