Volunteer at our Programs!Young Volunteers ages 8-17 and Adult Volunteers 18+ can volunteer with us at our in-person and online programs. We offer a range of social and recreational programs to our participants, and volunteers are paired up with participants similar in age to build friendships and connect with them at the program. In 2022, we've offered programs including basketball, beach games, soccer golf, dinner nights, our monthly birthday club, movie nights, and much more! Come join us, check our website for our latest volunteer opportunities. |

|---|
| About us | The Friendship Foundation supports parents and families who have neurodivergent children and young adults by providing a safe, accepting, and inclusive environment where they can enjoy sports, art, music, and many other social programs with their peers. Programs are targeted to specific age groups while some encompass a broad gathering of all ages including parents. At each program, neurodivergent children are paired with student volunteers for an event full of fun peer interaction. Our friendly staff and helpful volunteers create a fun experience for all. It is our belief that every person is precious and capable of love, connection, and friendship. |
