The Friendship Circle unites teen volunteers with children who have special needs through a wide range of innovative social programs and Jewish activities. Be A Friend! The Friendship Circle of Pittsburgh was established in 2006 to build a more inclusive community. We create fun and innovative programs that enable youth and young adults of all abilities to be firmly connected in the community through friendships and relationships, access to wellness supports, and employment opportunities. In doing so, we develop active, empowered members and young leaders who strengthen both our Friendship Circle and greater communities.
