The Friendship Circle of The Delaware Valley
A project of Guideline Services-Lubavitch House
The Friendship Circle reaches out and extends a helping hand to families who
have children with special needs and involves them in a full range of Jewish
and social experiences. The circle's unique formula introduces teenage volunteers
to the children and through shared experiences both are enriched.
The Friendship Circle consists of five parts - volunteers, children, parents,
staff, and supporters. The true beauty of the Circle is how all of the elements
link together to form a seamless community of friendship. Just as a circle has
neither end nor beginning, our community offers promise, hope and love that have
no bounds. Who can say who benefits the most from the Friendship Circle programs
- the child with special needs who learns how to ride a bicycle, or her parents
who get a much needed break, or the volunteer whose spirit soars to new heights?
