The Friendship Circle of Pittsburgh

The Friendship Circle of Pittsburgh was established in 2006 with the intention of creating a more inclusive community. We are a community-based program that brings together people of diverse abilities and interests. Our programs engage youth and adults with diverse abilities in a full range of social activities; we aim to enrich the lives of all participants through mutually advantageous interactions, creating lasting friendships that strengthen both the Jewish and greater communities. At The Friendship Circle, we believe all people have the same needs. These needs include friendship, fun, opportunities to grow, and the ability to contribute and to belong. The Friendship Circle of Pittsburgh is devoted to addressing those needs in an accessible environment that provides any necessary supports to bring out the best in all of us.
