Chabad of Briarcliff Manor - Ossining is pleased to introduce this Program to our community.

The Friendship Circle extends a helping hand to families who have children with special needs and involves them in a full range of social and Judaic experiences. The Circle's unique formula introduces teenage volunteers to the children and their families, and through the shared experiences, all are enriched.

• The child with special needs looks forward to a weekly visit and the opportunity to play with and learn from their older friends.
• The teenage volunteer learns the value of giving, and cherishes the experience of making a difference in a child's life and bringing a smile to his or her face.
• The child's family gets a needed respite and the pleasure of seeing their child become a part of the community circle.

The Friendship Circle is made up of five parts: volunteers, children, parents, staff, and supporters. The true beauty of the Circle is how we all link together to form a seamless circle of friendship.

Together, we can perform miracles.
