Friendship Circle's flagship monthly program, Sunday Circle brings children and teens with special needs together for an afternoon of friendship, fun, and meaningful experiences.

Each month features a different theme and a variety of engaging activities led by our staff and volunteers. Participants enjoy opportunities to socialize, build friendships, explore new interests, and be part of a welcoming community where everyone belongs.

What to Expect

Sunday Circle may include arts and crafts, sports, music, baking, sensory activities, games, holiday-themed experiences, special guests, and interactive group activities. Programs are designed to be fun, engaging, and inclusive for participants of varying ages and abilities.
