About

Meer Family Friendship Center is home to 40 after school programs. The goal for these programs is to offer true friendship, respite and support to children with special needs and their families. Each child is paired with a teen volunteer, who weekly spends an hour or two with their buddy, playing and learning at Friendship Circle. During this time, buddies enjoy exploring the 29,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility, including a full-size gym, cheese pit, swing room, lego room and more! These programs create meaningful, two dimensional experiences, with both the child and teen volunteer benefiting from the unconditional love and acceptance that takes place at Friendship Circle.
